Click once right in menu to the TV screen icon, then down to 'Factory Setting', enter password (0000).

Why do you want to reset if you have successfully installed an update?

I think you are supposed to do a factory reset before installing new firmware. And do not forget to backup your current channels. You can then restore them when you install the new firmware

You will then have the options of backing up your channels.
Then you can do a factory reset. As vulmac said, you can then restore your channel list.
