Default how do i reset the check engine light?

i have an 02 A6 2.7T Quattro, and can't figure out how to reset the check engine light after replacing my mass air flow controler (big round thing between airbox and intake manifold) any suggestions?

Go to an auto parts store and have them clear the codes for you. They will do it for free.
