How to turn off Parental Controls via web interface?

Question

I turned on parental controls last week, and signed up for&nbsp;an OpenDNS account. &nbsp; However now I realize that this sets the DNS server to something other than what I want, and to reset the DNS server address I need to turn off parental controls. &nbsp; &nbsp;If I log into the router with the web interface, I can't find an option to turn off parental controls. &nbsp; If I use the Genie Desktop App, it doesn't recognize my OpenDNS password (even though I've verified that it works by logging into the OpenDNS account via the web). &nbsp; &nbsp; Is there a way to turn off the parental controls without using the genie app?

I was able to turn off the parental controls with the mobile app version of genie. &nbsp; &nbsp;It looks like the desktop app is buggy, and no one thought to put an on/off option in the web interface.

Have you tried going straight into the web interface?&nbsp;https://netgear.opendns.com/sign_in.php&nbsp;It offers the chance of setting up a bypass account. Would that work?&nbsp;&nbsp;
