There’s a button near the light bulb on the opener. I reset mine by climbing up on a ladder and pushing the remote button 3 times (holding it close to the opener) then pushing the button on the opener 3 times. (Or the other way around – opener first, then the remote.) You can see the little light on the opener – next to the button – turn on. Mine’s red. Then you know that the opener is “accepting a new code.”

Hope that helps.
