Arrange duplicates and number the records in a sequence - MySQL

Question

My MySQL table has below records,

    ID Name   Account
-----------------------------------------
    1  ABC    PQR
    2  DEF    PQR
    3  ABC    PQR
    4  XYZ    ABC
    5  DEF    PQR
    6  DEF    ABC

I am looking for an output like

    ID Name   Account   Duplicate Sr No.
-----------------------------------------
    1  ABC    PQR       1
    2  DEF    PQR       1
    3  ABC    PQR       2
    4  XYZ    ABC       1
    5  DEF    PQR       2
    6  DEF    ABC       1

Here i mean that each duplicate should have a Sr Number or number the duplicates.

Name : ABC and Account : PQR when repeated in the table, there is an increment in the Duplicate Sr No from 1 to 2

Try:

SELECT t1.id, t1.name, t1.account
       , (SELECT COUNT(*)
            FROM tableName t2
           WHERE t2.name = t1.name
             AND t2.account = t1.account
             AND t2.id <= t1.id) AS dupno
  FROM tableName t1;

Output :

ID NAME ACCOUNT DUPNO
-- ---- ------- -----
 1 ABC  PQR         1 
 2 DEF  PQR         1 
 3 ABC  PQR         2 
 4 XYZ  ABC         1 
 5 DEF  PQR         2 
 6 DEF  ABC         1

MySQL doesn't yet support Window Function like any other RDBMS. This behaviour is similar with ROW_NUMBER() which gives rank number for every record in a group. In mysql, this can be simulated by using user variables.

SELECT  ID, Name, Account, DuplicateSR_No
FROM
        (
            select  ID,
                    Name,
                    Account,
                    @sum := if(@nme = Name AND @acct = Account, @sum ,0) + 1 DuplicateSR_No,
                    @nme := Name,
                    @acct := Account
            from    TableName,
                    (select @nme := '', @sum := 0, @acct := '') vars
            order   by  Name, Account
        ) s
ORDER   BY ID
