Reset ECU???

Reset ECU???
How do you reset the ECU? I went to the FAQ and it says:
"You will find instructions to do a Diagnostic Trouble Code readout and reset the Check Engine light at:
http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/ecu.html " but when you go to the link it says it has passed its bandwidth and I'll have to wait until 2-01-02 for it to be back up. I know where the ecu is and how to adjust it, but how do you reset it?

I did this when I got a check engine light a while back, but does that process actually reset the whole ECU, cuz I thought it just resets the check engine light?

both, resets ecu thus resetting CEL. disconnecting battery will NOT work on a 97, I tried. I can't speak for any other year, but from what I have read it does not work.. BTW why should it?

Remove the interior kick panel inn the driver side foot well, beside the gas pedal. Insert a flathead screwdriver into a slot on the ECU, and turn the screwdriver slowly and softly clockwise till you hit the stop, then counterclockwise until you hit another stop, then turn clockwise until you hit the stop. Remove the screwdriver, but how do you turn it back left if the screwdriver isn't in the slot?
Thanks for the help.
