Disconnect the battery for about 30-40mins is the easiest way

And then plug it back in! It should reset the ECU

Remove the ecu, and get a 12v wire and rub it across all the shiney pins.

Just leave the negative battery disconnected for about 30-40mins, then connect it again and all will be good. No need to disconnect the actual ECU. Then take it for a drive, should take about 20mins to re-learn, if that doesn't do anything, do what Percy said and leave it disconnected overnight and take it out in the morning
