The reconciled balance is computed from the account at run-time, which
means you must have some reconciled transactions in the account.

There is no single button to push to unreconcile, but you can go into the
account register, find all the reconciled transactions, and then click on
the 'y' to unreconcile them.  Unfortunately you must do this
one-at-a-time.
