How to insert sequential numbers

[Firewalker]

Hello guys,
I need your help with this. I have a table that ,say, has 10 rows in it. One
of the columns is called ID and has an integer number. I would like to
change the ID number of all the rows by ascending numbers starting from 5.
For example, row number 1 has ID number 5 , row 2 has 6, row 3 has 7 and so
on:

5;.;.;.;.;
6;.;.;.;.;
7;.;.;.;.;
8;.;.;.;.;
..
..
..
15;.;.;.;

How can I do this? Thank you very much for all your efforts.
