Alter Table TABLENAME AUTO_INCREMENT=1

where TABLENAME is your table.

Of course this resets it so the next use of auto increment will generate a
1 for the table.  I use is right after deleting the contents of the table
and any related tables.  (Its for a conversion program and I delete
everything if the conversion fails).
