sed: remove first character from particular line

Hello Experts,

I have a file "tt.txt" which is like:
Code:
#a1=a2
b1=b2
#c1=c2

I need to remove the pound (#) sign from a particular line. In this case let us assume it's 3rd line : "#c1=c2"

I can do it through:
Code:
sed "s/#c1=c2/c1=c2/" tt.txt

but it is possible that I may not know the value "c2" due to which I would not be able to use the above command.

Please point me in the right direction.

Thank You.

Regards,
HKansal
