If all you did was disconnect and reconnect the battery, it should function as normal. That is, assuming you disconnected the ground (negative) first when you took the battery out and reconnected the positive side first when replacing the battery. If you didn't, there's a possibility you toasted your ECM.

How long do you have to drive around to charge a car battery after jump starting a car?

You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator.

How do you reboot a car computer?

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery Leave it disconnected for an hour. (The amount of time it takes to replace the battery). Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery. This works because a transient (voltage spike, noise) is generated when the terminal is reconnected. This is not necessary when the battery is replaced because the negative terminal is normally the last connected. However, when a car's battery dies in storage for example and is recharged with disconnecting the battery, the car might not start because the computer is not running.
