I was told to simply press the opener and it would reconnect itself.

On most garage door openers there is a rope with a handle on the end usually red.
Over time though this slack can increase or the gear and sprocket assembly can wear and the chain may pop off the sprockets.
Chain driven garage door openers should have some slack in the chain for optimal performance.
If simply hitting the button does not work you will have to take more action.

Pulling on this rope will put the garage into manual mode so if the door is up it might come crashing down.
I waited for days to have someone help me reconnect the garage door to the trolley after opening it manually because of a power outage.
