The check engine light can only be reset through the car's computer. Mechanics can do it using their code readers. You either need to buy a code reader on Ebay or something or have the car fixed. That light is probably on for a reason.

Your car is too old for the parts house to reset it for you.
The recommended procedure from HONDA is to remove the fuses for the computer (ecu or ecm) and leave them out for > 3 minutes.
Why are you trying to turn it off? Have you repaired the failure that caused it in the first place?
Good Luck

1. disconnect the battery for 5 minutes.
or
2. go to a an auto parts store (Autozone around here) and have them hook the scanner up for free.. find out what the codes are, then have them erase the codes for you! If its a serious thing.. the codes will be back soon.
