There is a workaround to map Lead Record Type to Account Record Type. Perform the steps given in this knowledge article: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?id=000004455&language=en_US (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?id=000004455&language=en_US)

When you convert a lead it uses the User's default record type (for each of Account and Contact). However you can write a custom convert button using Visualforce. So net is that out of the box you can't, but using custom code you can.

There is no way the standard convert button can be modified to include this functionality. So taking this as a cause, if you add a custom convert button, you may have to add code to do standard convert process + select the account record type 
I wonder how the code in custom button be? Can you please tell...
