Create a Drupal user using existing contact

Can I create a Drupal user using and existing contact? That is, can i create a new Drupal user without creating a new CiviCRM contact? What API should I use?

We dont have any exposed API to create a drupal user for a civicrm contact

if you are a developer, check CRM/Core/BAO/CMSUser.php (function createDrupalUser)

you might be able to use that and accomplish what you want

Thanks for the pointer, I'll look into that. It looks like the forgotten password page does something like this. It appears to recognize CiviCRM emails when you enter the email of the account. I'll look there too.
