A reset doesn't clear all state associated with the form validation.
You'd have to manually reset all that state, see
http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js#L263
Just calling validator.init() again wouldn't work well, as that is
also used to bind events and parse certain settings.
I haven't tried yet (don't have a testcase at hand), but it may be
enough to reset the submitted-property:
var validator = $(...).validate();
validator.resetForm();
validator.submitted = {};
