Default Reset SRS?

How would one go about resetting their SRS computer/light so I can get rid of the light for my state inspection tomorrow. Although I'm not sure if he can fail me for that I like to be on the safe side.

Model specs:

1997 Honda Civic EX auto.

Thanks for any help.

Take the light bulb out and then go and get it inspected. Dick with it later.

once their is an interuption in the srs system most of the time the computer is dead meat but on the other hand if you would have had more time you could have did the good ol trial and error your self or you could have just read the srs light just like you would read the engine light.
but since i'm too late we are crying over spilt milk

oh and good advise sean but............... FAILURE
anyone with automotive knowledge knows that the srs light must come on for a matter of time when the key is first turned on to display that the srs system is operating normally
just like the engine light. and sometimes the abs light will do the same.
One might think the battery or alternater light does the same thing. wrong it only comes on because the alternater is not supplying any voltage to the ELD.

Isn't the light supposed to come on after 10 years? He has a 97 and now it's 07.
