Crack open your old grammar books or buy some new ones, and start from the beginning. Also, get some input in the language you want to revive - lots of it. Listen to it, read it, then if possible try to speak it. In my experience, a lot of your skills will prove to be dormant, not dead, and will come back quickly.

I would definitely recommend some input to start with, at least if you can still find something comprehensible. A couple of weeks reading things like Astérix and Harry Potter did amazing things for reawakening parts of the French language I didn't know I could still remember. Then I was able to go into a class or look at my textbooks with a much better awareness of what I really have forgotten.
