Nevermind! I found where the auto increment number is (user table).
MySQL lets you change the value under the OPERATIONS tab.

Will it be a high number? I think the user_id is just an
auto-incrementing integer in the database, I'm not entirely sure how
they work, but I think it gets the next number by just adding one to
the highest number in the table, so if you've deleted the spam
registrations, they shouldn't be taken into account. You may need to
manually reset any good registrations (if any) made during or after
the spam registrations, which might be quite a challenge if they've
made edits, etc. but should be possible.
