Unfortunately there is currently no UI method to re-assign an account.
The way to do it is to overwrite the binding in the currently-selected
account by importing a "fake" OFX file with a "bogus" OFX account#.
That will free up the 'real' OFX account# and then you can re-import and
assign it to the correct account.
