You can access the device UI with your device admin password.

NETGEAR Insight network location password:
NETGEAR Insight can affect how you access the switch device UI. After you add the
switch to an Insight network location and change the management mode of the switch so
that you can use the NETGEAR Insight app and Insight Cloud portal to manage the
switch remotely (see
Change the management mode of the switch on page 37), the
Insight network location password replaces the switch device admin password. To
access the device UI, you must enter the Insight network location password.
Even if you temporarily change the management mode of the switch back to Direct
Connect Web Browser Interface, for example to change settings that are not
Insight-manageable or for debugging purposes, you must enter the Insight network
location password.
For information about how the Insight network password functions, visit
