Every time I insert an image, the step counter resets. Since every step of my instructions has a picture, they are all numbered as Step 1. How do I fix this?

There are likely extra spaces in your article. A step should read: # Xyz qrst zzz.[[Image code]]< line feed/hard return ># Next step.[[Next step image code]]… Extra spaces break the autonumbering, causing the step counter to reset.
