Unable to use parental control bypass account from my phone. Nighthawk app doesn't support bypass.
Anyone know how to bypass parental controls on a phone?
The Genie phone app, which is supposed to be used to bypass the parental controls, no longer supports my router (which is the message that I see when trying to log into the Genie app on my phone).
The Nighthawk phone app, which replaced the Genie app, does not appear to have a feature to bypass parental controls.
As a result I'm being restricted by the router's parental control limits when using my phone.

Correct, this is one of the missing features on the Nighthawk App... a feature lost, because we can't use the Genie App to connect these routers anymore.
