Hi, I would like to reactivate or recreate an account linked to my Microsoft account. I'm currently getting: Error message: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity.
I don't want to restore anything, just want to start using Azure again. Thanks in advance for any help!
It seems very hard to get support on this issue... Regards, Peter

This issue will be resolved by signing in using the tenant-specific Azure portal URL and the tenant ID I have provided over the private messages tab:
https://portal.azure.com/<tenant-ID>Once you accessed the portal through the tenant-scoped URL, the tenant became active again and you will be able to manage resources without further issues.
And the tenant will be restored successfully.
If you have any other questions, let me know in the “comments” and I would be happy to help you.
