Next query will search element by @value='Account' then traverse up to the first tr and then search your checkbox:

//input[@type='text' and @value='Account']/ancestor::tr[1]//input[@type='checkbox']

you can also try this:

//input[@type='checkbox' and preceding-sibling::input[@type='text' and @value='Account']]
