Computer reset

Hello!
I'm a little confused how to reset my computer on my 97 F250 351w because I'm thinking it might help me clear some pesky lean codes.
I have a couple last few things I'm going to try to see if my lean codes clear and if those do not work I'm going to reset my computer but I'm not sure how.
I saw on another thread you do something with the headlight switch and battery but it was for an OBD 1 and I believe I have an OBD 2.
Thanks in advance.

Disconnect the battery for maybe 10 minutes ( OBD-I ) or with either system you can clear the codes using the scan tool/ code reader.

Why did you start another thread to ask that question?
