I would like to disable the parental controls. It seems that this is only possible with the Genie App. While I can log into the router in the web interface, whenever I try to do something in Genie App it says login failed, or just spins. Is there a way to disable parental controls through the web interface?

That is the link that "Parental Controls" leads to when I am using the web interface. While the OpenDNS site allows me to adjust the level of parental control, all the way down to none if I choose, it does not allow me to disable it at the router level. Subsequently, when I try to alter the DNS settings in my router, it says I first need to disable parental controls.
So, to answer you question, while that link works, it does not do what I need it to.
