Please help me guys, engine light prob

I searched high and low and couldnt find a thread on this so here it goes. My cheack engine light is on and im pretty sure that it is because i accidently started the car without a vacume line on the intake hooked up. I checked my Chilton manual and it says that the reset screw is on the ECU. I took apart the lower kick panel and cant find the screw they mention in the manual. Is it hidden or sum? I also tried to disconect the battary for like 20hrs and it still didnt work. My car is a 96 so its OBD 2.

My question is how can i reset the engine light!!!
