When you say reactivate do you mean reactivate to use as an actual phone or do you mean reactivate just to get past the SIM activation?
If the first, put a new SIM in it for the line you are going to use it on.
If the later, just find any old SIM off eBay for your carrier (deactivated SIMs are fine) and use that.

What carrier do you have? Usually you can just contact your carrier and provide the number of the SIM card you want to use and they will activate it for you.
Call your carrier
If it was Verizon and the phone was previously active on the account, they have a "bring your own device" option and allow you to pick previously active phones. ATT might have something similar - start digging around.
