Need to update a custom account field that is set as read only - I'm a Sys Admin

Question

Help! I'm trying to update a custom account field to editable, that is currently read-only. I've tried going to Accounts -> Fields -> Click Specific Field -> Set Field Level Security and I do not have the option to unselect Read-Only.

I've also tried to update the System Administrator Profile to allow for Edit Access under the speicfic Account Field but again - it will not allow me to edit the "Edit Access".

Please HELP!

It sounds like it is a formula field.  Those are always Read Only since they get their value from the result of their formula.

To edit the formula, you use the Setup > Customize > Accounts > Fields menu to find and edit the formula field.
