I have replaced rear and cleaned front abs/speed sensors, and was wondering if I need to reset computer to try to clear abs light.

1.) Disconnect negative battery cable
2.) Turn key in the ignition to battery on without turning it all the way
3.) Leave ignition on for 30 seconds
4.) Remove key and re-connect negative battery cable

I'm not sure if you HAVE to reset it after changing brake sensors, and I'm not sure it will clear the light because all its going to do is erase what the computer knows about the way you drive and make it learn all over again over the next couple of days. Maybe someone who knows for sure will say?

You don't have to reset the computer for and ABS code. It doesn't set a hard code, (meaning it's stored in the computer).

When I was having diablo (DSP) ABS corruption issues from setting tire size I had to go to the dealer to have it done. Tuner and or battery would not clear/reset the code.
