Hello cm2297,
Welcome to the community!
Is this for the bypass account or just simply creating the login for the Parental Control?
Can you post a screen grab of this window?
Did you try using a different web browser? Also, try deleting browsing history and clearing cache.

This is for the parental control.
I am trying to create this from the Netgear app that was downloaded to my pc. I am not opening a browser seperate from the app.

Adding a special character to my password worked, so I was able to create a OpenDNS account with a password that contained a special character, capital letter, a number and is between 6-20 characters. I would like to note that nowhere on the instructions did it say that all of this was needed, just a password between 6-20 characters.

buckeyestargaze Thank you for the update! Will pass that along to our engineers and add it in the instructions.
Have a great day!

Once I added a special character and a capital it worked without a problem.

That is weird as I don't have an capitalisation in my or special character in my password -- only difference I used my existing OpenDNS account.
