Disable parental control without OpenDNS password
Hi,
I recently purchased this router second hand. I set it up, and everything works great, but I have noticed that it has enabled parental controls. I am able to log into routerlogin.net, but to disable the parental control I only get forwarded to log into OpenDNS. Since i purcased it second hand I dont know the login info. Is there no wat for mye to disable it from routerlogin.net or any other way? I dont want to contact the previous owners and ask them to login and disable it, so really want to try by myself first.
Appreciate all help!
Maria

Please visit and post about this here for your model router:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers-Non/bd-p/home-wifi-routers-generalTry a factory reset on the router by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds, then release. Use a wired PC and web browser to setup the router again from scratch.
Good Luck.
