I have a site that inadvertently created a GL account "32175" as an income account type instead of a liability. As a result they are unable to add additional liability accounts above that number. Further compounding the issue a Journal was posted against the account leaving an audit trail. Is there a creative way to back out that journal and change the account to a liability? Please advise. Look forward to a reply.

Appreciate all the feedback. Turns out the client had access to keychange, so we were able to do a quick fix by changing and reclassing the account.
I would do a reversing GL entry to zero it out; then use Keychange or Professional Tools (depending on what they have) to change the number to fit into the proper income area in their COA structure; set it to inactive.
Then create a new 32175 as a liability.
