Converting accounts to leads

Hi guys,

Is there a way to convert an account back to a lead through the site's interface?

I know the leads are not deleted, but marked as converted when an account is created from a lead, so I was hoping there would be a way to do just the opposite.

Thanks.

Hi Juan,

Nope, that is a one way operation through the interface.  You may be able to reverse the process using api calls.

So does that also mean there isn't a way to convert an account to a lead (without a prior established lead)? 
I just entered over 200 "leads" using the account function because I was unaware of the "Leads" section in salesforce and it would be awesome if I could switch these accouts over to leads without re-entering.  Please help!  THANK YOU =)

Do you have an example on how to reverse the action?
