Husqvarna - IPL, 455 Rancher/ 460, 2006-02, Chain Saw (example - may not be your saw):
http://weborder.husqvarna.com/order_static/doc/usa/2006/I06000/I0601076.pdf
See Detail A, pn 503 89 08-02. You can use a Crescent Wrench on one of the ears (left end) to reset it. With the cover positioned with pn 503 89 08-02 in the upper left rotate it CW until it nests, to reset it.
This works quite well:

If you do not have a vise a large C clamp to a work surface might work, you may still need a block or two of wood.

I will wager you will NEVER again remove the cover with the brake set. Me either! Good Luck. HTH

Grasp the most forward upper handle. Move it toward the bar nose and it should click. If not the chain brake is engaged. Pull it aft until it clicks (may require a little force). Wearing gloves can the chain be rotated? If not the chain is to tight or the brake is still engaged.
Chain Adjustment Make sure the chain brake is off (gloves will protest your fingers).
If necessary, loosen the bar nuts that are clamping the clutch cover in place (or whatever holds the clutch cover and bar on). They do not need these really loose - finger tight will do.
Ease the tension adjustment until the chain is obviously loose.
Using one hand, hold the nose of the bar up.
While holding the nose up, adjust the tensioner so that the center of the chain just touches the underside of the bar, add a touch more.
Continue holding the nose of the bar up & tighten up the bar nuts / bolts / quick-release system.
If the chain is properly tensioned, the chain brake is released and the chain cannot be rotated (wear gloves) with the clutch cover in place take it to your local Husky dealer to determine what component has broken.

One more possibility. There may be burrs on the drive links (cause binding in the bar groove). Try the Chain Repair: then reinstall the chain and try it.

It sounds like the chain is too tight. Loosen up the tension on the chain by turning the tensioning screw located on the end of the saw where the bar goes out.
