Reset Primary Field Counter..

I have built a database with a Primary Key / Auto Increment.

I have been doing loads of testing with adding and deleting records.

Now I need to delete all of the test records, and put the database on a live
website.

Is there anyway to reset the Primary Key back to 1. Now when I have deleted
all the records, the Primary Key uses the next number from when the records
existed.

Kind Regards
