How do I create a new Azure tenant after my old one was deactivated?

I’m unable to sign in because my Azure AD tenant has been blocked due to inactivity. I’m receiving the error: “AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity.” I need assistance reactivating the tenant so I can regain access. Please advise on the next steps to restore the tenant.
