The beginning orderid number can be increased using a database management tool such as phpMyAdmin. Most hosting services provide phpMyAdmin. In Plesk it is called DB WebAdmin.

Either add a row with the higher orderid number or, if the highest existing orderid number is not needed for anything else (for instance it is an incompleted/unpaid or a test order), change the highest orderid to the higher number and save the change (click Go).
