Changing the identity range values with database name keeping the same.

Hello,
What are the steps for changing the identity range values?
We have backup the database that contained initial publication with
identity range set to 1000. Now when I delete the existing database with
replication, and then create a new DB with same name and restore the
database it maintains the publication and does not allow me to change
the identity range values. Also constraints are not modified. If I
create a new publication two identity range constraints are generated.
However when I create a new DB with a new name, restore the database and
then create another publication it correctly modifies the identity range
constraints with new value say 20000.
I want database with same name to be created. Please help.

Replication does not remove the constraints it uses to maintain the identity
ranges on the subscriber tables. You will have to remove these manually.
It may be possible that these constraints are also in place on the
publisher. You will have to drop the publication, remove the constraints is
they still exists, and then rebuild it.
