Change Account Numbers

Why am I able to change some account numbers but not others? I am working in Sage 50 Canada 2023. I am logged in as sysadmin in single user. I double click on some accounts and it will let me change the account number if I wanted to. But then other accounts (of course including the one I actually want to change), the account number is greyed out and won't let me change it. Doesn't matter if it's a group account, sub-group account...what type of account class... there seems to be no rhyme or reason... Any suggestions?
