With new tires you always need an aligment. About you're tire pressure monitor system i would double check the air pressure make sure its at 32 psi. While installing they could of messed up a sensor but that should be the last thought.

I agree they need to have the air pressure set correctly. If they are then they may have screwed with the TPMS sensors. Take it back they should be able to sort it out. Alignment is ideal with a new set of tires but is generally looked over and skipped. I did an alignment on my last set of tires and barely squeezed 14K out of them.

Last time i checked there is no way to reset it. Unless like turning of ure car completly. Today it was very cold here in NYC so my tire pressure light wen't on because i lost 5 psi. So i wen't to a tire shop had them fill my tires up to 32. Once he filled a tire that was 25 psi to 32 light wen't off right o way. So i would think they messed up ure TMPS sensor while taking of ure tire and mounting a new one.
