Default lil mystery button 91accord

My 91' accord just below the tach and to the left there is a little button. It's recessed and looks like you could only push with something small like a toothpick or something. Looks like a reset button of some sort. Anyone know what its for? I have a pic but don't know how to post from phone.

From your description, it sounds like the maintenance required light reset button. There is a little light next to the button, that will turn from green, to yellow, to red, as the miles add up since the last reset. It' just a reminder to do the maintenance on your car (oil changes, etc.). You can use the car key to push the button, and reset the light.

It is the maintenance indicator reset. See excerpt from owner's manual.
