Try truncate table. It essentially drops the table and recreates it.

 Subject: autoincrement column
 
 Before switching to version 4.0.18 of MySQL the command delete from
 table
 was also reseting the autonincrement column value... It seems that this is
 not happening anymore after we have installed this version...
 
 Any idee about this problem? Is there any other way to reset this?

Keep in mind you can't use truncate in a transaction though.  I experienced 
this problem
recently when wanting to delete an entire table and reset my auto increment 
values. While
keeping it in a transaction.

Re: Autoincrement Column reverting to zero...

 SQL, QUERY
 
 I posted a little while back with a problem on several tables where
 the autoincrement column reverted to zero for no apparent
 reason. Now I know the reason, I just don't understand it, or know
 what to do differently.
 
 I find myself in the all too common situation where I can developing
 a backend system with a spec that changes more frequently than I
 care to mention. As a result I find that I am often required to add
 columns to tables on a live, production database. Today, after
 adding a column to a table, the very next insert into that table
 resulted in a value of 0, any subsequent inserts also try to use
 0...

That's odd. I've altered tables in the past an not had auto_increment
columns revert to 0. Can you show us the SQL for the table and the
ALTER TABLE statement you're running, maybe?
