Hmm.. it might be more simple to just delete the user out of that table and create it again.
DON'T DO THAT!
The user id is used as a foreign key in other tables. Mediawiki kind of depends on User records being permanent.
Do it if you like, but be aware it may cause occasional.
In particular, note that if you delete a user record, anyone can now create a new user account with the same name, but it will have a different user id number. In addition to being confusing and annoying, this can cause mismatches where things can't be looked up that matched the old user.
