I'm not sure that you can just reset that data without deleting everything in the table, but this is the query that can be used to reset the id and remove all data in that table.
TRUNCATE table

ALTER TABLE table AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

But there can't be any conflicting keys, so you would have to empty the table first.. why do you want to do this?

ALTER TABLE table AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

But there can't be any conflicting keys, so you would have to empty the table first.. why do you want to do this?thats basically what i wanna do, just wipe some table right out so that when i recreate something in that table, its userID will be 1,2,3 etc

Hi, thanks for your help;
when i ran that query i received this error

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/cellular/public_html/forum/includes/db_mysql.php on line 279

ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 1
