Replace a number with another in bulk

Hello,

I need to replace a number that is in the beginning of a file name with another.

As an example. each file name has a number in front starting from 101xxxx, 102abc, 103def going all the way to 169tyu.
What I want to do is bump the number part 1 unit up so that I get 102xxx, 103abc, 104def .......170tyu where I want to keep the variable part the same while moving the numbers 1 unit up.

101xxx 102xxx
102abc 103abc
103def 104def
. .
. .
. .
. .
. .
169tyu 170tyu

If someone can help me out, I'll be really grateful

USE:
- Remove first three signs
- Add new numbering, starting at 102, as prefix
- Done
