How to remove REST password requirement in LuCi?

I need to use LuCi to configure my Wifi (need to set up as static IP). However, I also want the REST API to be password free. I cannot seem to figure out how to turn off the REST password when I configure with LuCi. The option only appears to show up on the basic configuration page and if I turn it off there, it clears all my customizations in LuCi and reverts me back to the basic DHCP setup. Any suggestions?

There is no LuCi panel for the REST password
