Hi jspanitz,

Thank you for contacting Sophos Community. You may try the following command on CLI.

Go to Device Console (4) and type system appliance_access enable.

This will enable you to access GUI and disable all restriction, but as a CAUTION, this will "DISABLE ALL TRAFFIC" to the FW

After the changes, Kindly remember to DISABLE it again by doing the command below

system appliance_access disable

Kindly refer to the following KB below.
