How can I deactivate a Facebook Account with out deactivating the Page?

I've opened a Facebook Page for my husbands buisnees a while ago, then by error I added a Facebook account under same email address.

There is no need for the Facebook Account (as I have a private account already), and we only need the page for updates for "fans"- customers. How do I delete the Facebook account with out deleting the buisness Page?

    Facebook help pages say there is no way to do this:

    If you click on the "Create Your Profile" button and fill out the additional information, you will create a personal account to correspond with your business account. **Once this final registration step is complete, these changes cannot be reverted**. Deactivating your personal account will cause you to lose access to any Pages and Social Ads you've created.

    "After you have created a personal account, you can manage all the Pages and Socials Ads you’ve created by selecting "Ads and Pages" from the Applications menu, which is located on the bottom right side of your home page. The fans of your Pages will not be able to view or access to your personal profile. Any actions that you take as a Page administrator on your Page will show the Page’s name as the actor and not your personal name.

    However, if you wish to restrict your privacy so that other Facebook members cannot find you in search or add you as a friend, you can do so by clicking on "privacy" at the top any Facebook page."
