[support] How can I reset "who is online: guests" counter?

[Brian Choc]

The "sessions" table holds who is currently logged on, and this table is
queried during by the User module to generate that block.  You can clear
that table and it should reset your counters to zero.  Note that doing this
will log everyone out who is logged in at the moment you clear the database
and those users would have to re-log in, but otherwise should do no harm.

You may want to look at the sessions expiration settings in the settings.php
file, but for 6 hangers-on it's likely not a big problem.
