[Tex/LaTex] How to start List of Figures numbering from 1 when the first figure is excluded

countersnumberingtable of contents

I am writing my thesis and I have included a figure in the title page which i don't want to show up in the List of Figures. This is easily done but then the first figure in the main document is number 2 in the LoF like shown below:enter image description here

Is there a fix for this? I tried to look for a command that would reset/manipulate the Figure numbering but I didn't find one. I use \listoffigures to create the LoF and I print it after the input of the title page like this:

\begin{document}

\input{temp_titlepage.tex}

\pagenumbering{roman}
\input{acknowledgments.tex}
\clearpage

% print table of contents (ToC)
\tableofcontents
\clearpage

% list of figures
\listoffigures

I am sorry I don't include more code but it is very long and I don't think it will make a difference. Thank you in advance for the help.

In LaTeX you include graphics using \includegraphics. If you need caption and label you either use \captionof or a figure environment (latter floats and therefore is better for automatic positioning).

However, for a picture on a titlepage it's mostly unnecessary to have a caption as you probably won't write a caption under your institution's logo, f.i. Hence you can just use \includegraphics without figure and you're done.
