Default Having trouble re-setting "maintenance required" light

Local tire store did 30K maintenance, oil change, etc. Now the "maintenance required light" won't reset using procedure outlined in the owner's manual. Vehicle is a 2001 Accord LX withe 4 cylinder engine. Using the specified procedure, light will go out but then comes back on immediately. Any suggestions/recommendations, etc. would be appreciated.

It is set to come on at a predetermined mileage interval. 6-7,000 miles (more or less). It is only a reminder, to remind you to do the required maintenance on your car.

Push the recessed button in the gauge cluster with your key.
