Reference the owner's manual that came with your vehicle. Reset procedures are often described in depth with illustrations.
Contact a local dealership's service department.Your vehicle may have a simple process that can be described over the phone.

disconnect the positive side of your battery for 30 seconds to a minute and the computer should reset.

Just take out the bulb :)
You could try unplugging the battery (or battery fuse) as well. I don't know the "proper" way to reset it though.
