To clear out just definitions you have made yourself in the session, and
to restart the In/Out tag numbering, you could use the package
ClearAll.m, whose contents are as follows:

Unprotect["Global`*"];
Remove["Global`*"];
Unprotect[Out]; Clear[Out]; Protect[Out];
Unprotect[In]; Clear[In]; Protect[In];
$Line=0;
Print["All Global`* and In and Out cleared!"]

(Sorry, I cannot recall the source or author of this package.  Put this
in a file ClearAll.m in the AddOns\Applications directory, say.

For something more drastic, which will clear out all created context and
packages, etc., loaded into such contexts, you could use the the menu
commands:

  Kernel > Quit Kernel 

  Kernel > Start Kernel
  
This is definitely faster than using Quit and then restarting the entire
Mathematica Front End.
