After testing my list with a complex workflow on my MOSS 2007 production server, the ID have reach 100. Is it possible to reset the ID to the original value that it was created?

(Otherwise, I have to recreate my list which contain 65 columns again.)

I would advise against testing on your production server, do you have a test environment to do testing? – Russell Dec 22 '11 at 4:16
Our company does not have a test environment and also, we do not want to export from test environment to production if we have a test environment as it will increase the work load. – Anderson Karu Dec 22 '11 at 4:19
It is a good idea to have another environment somewhere, to test upgrades etc. – Russell Dec 22 '11 at 4:21

Short answer: no you can't reset it.

The only way is to delete and recreate the list. You can save the list as a template (not including content), then recreate it from the list template. This would recreate the list without you having to re-add the columns. :)

Wow, that was a fast response! Thanks for the recommendation on saving it as a template. – Anderson Karu Dec 22 '11 at 4:10
Is the workflow deployed (custom) or ootb? Be careful with the workflow when recreating the list as a template: social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/… – Russell Dec 22 '11 at 4:18
