You could configure
sudo instead, to allow you and only you(or perhaps some group of users, etc, etc.) to run a shell under the 'account' user without a password and then, modify account's
~/.profile or
~/.kshrc to run
. /home/i5/i5.4/release/account/profile.ksh automatically on login, as well as set the prompt and change directory to where you want. So you go from sudo to doing what you want in one step, or
su - account and one password to being setup as you want.
