can't login to opendns

I'm having problems logging in to opendns.  I keep getting messages about blocking sites because of content.  I never set up parental blocks or anything.  When I try to login, i enter my email address and it says it doesn't recognize the email address.  I'm really getting frustrated.

Hi @maryr69,

 

If that is the case, you can factory reset the router and go through the setup. The link below may help out.

Hi @maryr69,

 

1. It is possible that someone may have enabled Live Parental Controls.

2. Please provide a screenshot of the message if possible.

3. If you are unable to find the credentials, a factory reset can be a way around it.

Re: can't login to opendns

I was the one who set up my router and don't recall setting any parental controls.  When i try to open the parental controls it tells me that i'm not connected to the internet.  So it seems i'm in some loop and can't get out.  I have never set up an account with opendns so i'm not sure why websites are being blocked or who the admin is that i need to contact.
