I have a winter hat with Bluetooth. It would connect so hit forget this device like an idiot hoping it would reset. How can I pair it again?? It didn’t come with a man

Check the manufacturer's website for instructions.

I too mistakenly told my iPhone 6 to forget my Bluetooth Bose speaker.

I was able to repair my iPhone and my Bose Bluetooth speaker by resetting my Bose speaker I held down the start the plus and minus buttons for then turned on my Bluetooth speaker and iPhone was able to find it

That only works if that's how you put the device in pairing mode. There is no universal way of doing that. Many of my speakers have a dedicated button. My Amazon Echo uses a voice command.

Look for instructions ton the manufacturer's website.

I also have this problem with my Honda my 13 CRV. I accidentally hit forget this device and it won't connect. I also hit 'delete all personal data" on Crv. My iPhone 5 is always in discoverable mode but won't come up with the crv's Bluetooth to pair with. I have reset all settings powered down, taken it to dealer all to no avail.

Thanks so much for sharing how you paired a device after hitting the 'forget this device' option. I had done this with BT headphones; I no longer had the instructions for pairing but held the volume button down for several seconds which put it into 'pairing' mode. So I final got it synced with my iPhone again. Bless you!

I have read every word of this thread.

I chose "forget this device" so my UE Roll (AWESOME) portable Bluetooth speaker could pair with someone else's cell phone. Now my iPhone 6s Plus will not recognize or pair with the speaker, when I put the speaker in pairing mode, while the iPhone searches to discover any nearby bluetooth devices.

I tried the suggestion on this thread, holding down the + volume button and the power button for 10 seconds, while in pairing mode, and while not in pairing mode.

I also tried a soft reset. I did the latest update to to OS. I did everything I could think of.

I read in a different thread that when an iPhone refuses to re-discover a Bluetooth device, a hard reset from the Setup menu has to be done to the iPhone, which causes a factory reset (but does not erase any stored data on the iPhone). I also read of people who did such a reset with no results but all the headaches of having to restore personal preferences that get erased.

I appreciate your help so much!

Anyone had experience with MacBooks with the same problem?..

I clicked "forget device" on my macbook for my bluetooth headphones!

Ive put my bluetooth headphones in pairing mode and my macbook doesn't want to find it again??

Tried turning my headphones on and off..No avail..

I tired to pair to my keyboard but I accidentally hit forget device when I really just wanted to disconnect, I have tried turning my Bluetooth on and off on both things and then I have done a Network reset and that hasn’t helped. What else can I do?

One word for this........................... Awesome; it burst out when this worked

all the suggestions were just a suggestion, this was the real remedy.

Don't forget to turn on the 'personal hotspot' in 'settings'

Moral: "forgetting" a device is dangerous.

It's not dangerous. In fact, it can often be a useful troubleshooting step.

Could you explain how you managed to pair the device to your phone I have wireless headphones that I accidentally did this with and now can’t use them
