Take a large C clamp put it on the caliper and force it back or get someone with really strong hands to sqeeze in in.
The dashboard brake light usually indicates a differential pressure malfunction between the two sides of the master cylinder, or that the emergency brake is on. Check the emergency brake, then check the master cylinder. You may need to bleed the brakes. You may need to reset the master cylinder, although they usually reset by themselves.
Once you correct the problem the light will go off. Can be low of brake fluid, parking brake might be partially on, defective Master Cylinder, etc. Do not ignore this light as this can cause your brakes to fail.
Have to replace the brake sensors once you change the brakes and the computer will reset itself after a few minutes.

It means there is a pressure difference between the front and rear brakes when the brake pedal is depressed. It will not reset until the pressure difference is repaired or eliminated. Check for low fluid/ air, rear brakes adjustment or bad. Front brakes bad, Bad master cylinder internally leaking pressure, etc.
Disconnect the battery for 15-30 Mins and it will reset automatically.

You can reset the brake warning lights, on your VW Jetta, by backing up 20 feet and using the brakes. The automobile will sense the new pads and the warning light will go off.
If you've bled the brakes properly then the proportioning valve will reset on it's own after you pump the brakes up. You probably still have air in the system and need to bleed it at the wheels. If it still won't reset try tapping it with a hammer to get the rod inside to move. If it's stuck, replace it. Did you bench bleed the master prior to installation???
