How to reactivate your account

1. Sign in to your AdSense account.
2. Verify your phone number.
3. Either resubmit an existing site for approval or add a new site.
   Note: If you haven't previously verified your address by PIN, you will be asked to verify your address before receiving your payments.

   To use this AdSense account for the YouTube Partner Programme or to receive a payment from YouTube, associate this AdSense account to your channel.

When your account is active again, make sure that you set up ads on your site so you start generating impressions.

FAQ

Can I still sign in to my account after it's been reset?

Yes. Your account is still available, but you'll need to connect your site to AdSense before serving ads again.

Can I still access my finalised earnings after my account has been reset?

Yes. For example, if your earnings reached the payment threshold but there was a payment hold on your account when it was reset, you can still sign in to your account, remove the hold and get paid.
