change value of the counter enumi (or enumii, enumiii, enumiv, for
deeper level of nested lists) after \begin{enumerate}.

You may consider using the enumitem package, available online via CTAN
from
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=enumitem
It allows for easy manipulation of such lists (enumerate, itemize and/
or description). Although I haven't tested this, I assume you'll be
interested in the following:

...
\begin{enumerate}[start=3]
\item...
...
\end{enumerate}
