I think you can reset any ECU by pulling the negative battery cable for 10 minutes or so, unless it has a battery backup to keep the ECU memory intact.

yea you can either disconnect the battery for like 2 minutes or you can pull the EFI fuse for the same time and that way you can keep all of your settings in the car.

do you shift through all the gears with a manual, including reverse?

I'm pretty sure the only reason it suggests that is to re-learn the fuel curves. It's going to take some time of driving before the ECU is completely back to normal, so your car may act kind of odd for a few days. Just reset the ECU, or pull the EFI fuse, then drive the car normally for a few days, or drive it how you want the car to learn.

I did this experiment a few weeks back here's what I found.
