Illegal assignment from SObject to Account

I want to create a instance of account to update some field related to that accountRecord during lead conversion.
I am getting Illegal assignment from SObject to Account. How to resolve that?

Hi Swain,
You can try this :
Account ac = (Account)lc.getAccountRecord(); //Typecast to Account

Hope it will help you.
Thanks

Are your using LeadConvert Class? then use
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_dml_convertLead.htm
getAccountId()
Gets the ID of the account into which the lead will be merged.
Signature
public ID getAccountId()

else do the type casting like below
Account ac = (Account)lc.getAccountRecord();
