Dont feel so bad you are not the first person to have this problem

the piston SCREWS back in with an allen key as easy as you like.

the little circled cover is unscrewed using an allen key and then inside is the adjuster which is turned using an allen key .

you have been told

also when you reassembly the brakes adjust this adjuster untill the pads just start to bind and then back it off a little, otherwise the handbrake will be too loose and the foot pedal may have a long travel. while your doing the brakes its very worth renewing all brake fluid, they will work much better without the water but more importantly prevents expensive calipers from seizing up due to corrosion on the inside.
