I don't know about a reset button, but normally you press down on the knob after turning it and keep it pressed for 30 full seconds after lighting it. They may be referring to that as the reset button. The knob is visible in the first picture. Count one-thousand one, one-thousand two, etc. all the way to thirty as your thumb gets fatigued.

You light it at the top of the two things sticking up in the third picture. One is the gas for the pilot light. The other is the thermocouple, which is just a sensor to detect when the pilot goes out. You may need to hold the lighter (or twisted paper) well beneath the spot where the pilot flame will be, allowing the lighter flame reach up to light the pilot. Move the lighter around a bit until the pilot is lit.

If the lighter is lit for more than twenty seconds, allow it to cool before trying again.

If it goes out often, the thermocouple MAY need to be replaced, but first check if both covers are properly in place, and check for any drafts. A draft can certainly blow out the pilot flame.
