I just did this on my '99 Honda Accord EX so assuming it's the same as a 2000... put a wrench on the 14mm hex head bolt on the tensioner pulley and turn counter clock wise, this rotates the tensioner releasing tension on the belt . I found it easiest to have someone under the car pulling the belt off the bottom pulley (crank) while someone releases the tension.
