    It could be done via the metadata api. Look at JSForce or using Ajax to call the metadata API

I am going to Answer this although it is not as I expected, so it will help other people to refer.

Auto Number cannot be reset through metadata api. Please refer here :Unsupported Metadata Types

Standard fields that aren’t customizable, such as autonumber fields or system fields

The best way is to let the user know that they always can contact their System Admin to reset it for them.
