Hello,
In this scenario, rotblitz is correct, the only way to remove the "Device already registered" error on a NETGEAR Live Parental Controls (LPC) device is to contact OpenDNS support at support@opendns.com or log into the account that initially registered the device.
When emailing, please be sure to include the MAC address of the device, preferably in a screenshot of the "Device Status" (non-Genie web interface) or "Network Map" (Genie web interface). If emailing in without the MAC address, our first response will be to ask for the MAC address, so please be sure to include it in your initial inquiry.
Best regards,

I am facing the same issue.. was in touch with tech support and after 4 or 5 back and forth questions and answers, i haven't still resolved this issue.
One of the items i noticed is that my MAC address is all zeroes except for the last one digit ( 1) from Network map. I tried changing this according to what was given in my equipment , but the network doesn't connect if i do this.
Equipment - Netgear R7000
Any help will be appreciated

Hello,
Please submit the full screenshot for your partial screenshot of ScreenHunter_03 Mar. 28 23.40.jpg. The WAN MAC address was cut off in your submission and only the LAN MAC is shown. Without the WAN MAC, this may be the reason that the router's registration has yet to be found. Also, please send in any alternate email address that you may have registered in any way with OpenDNS in the past. This may also assist in finding the router's registration.
Best regards,

"Staff must go into your account to delete the non-wanted or reassign other device IDs. Therefore this is the only answer which can be given. This forum community cannot help you with such account specific issues."
Then SAY SO, instead of just repeating the same useless non-information.

As you can see from Alexander's response above, you didn't provide the correct and complete information.
