There is a "WORK-AROUND" and not a full resolution.   By creating a 2nd profile on Max (actually a dummy profile), it will allow you to log onto Max.

The work-around should not be considered a "resolution" as the issue still remains. 

Having a dummy account sitting around is a security issue. And, while this will allow single users to log onto Max, it is still something that Roku and Max still need to fix.

I found a response below, stating to hit the "go back" option again and again until you were prompted to enter your account pin. This worked for me!
