Narrative:

I was called to the cockpit of the 757 for a 'warn elec' message. The crew and the FAA inspector, mr X, were in the cockpit when I arrived. I pulled the 'warn elec' circuit breakers. 2 of them and left them out for approximately 20 seconds, then pushed them in. The message disappeared. I left the cockpit after making sure the message would not return. After the flight departed, I realized I should have entered the item in the logbook.
