As I understand it, if you have not used AdSense in your account, you cannot use this email address as your new Admob account.
I ran into the same problem and the following script succeeded:
Create a new gmail account.
Create a new admob account using this email address.
Link your new admob and old admob. (This is described on the new google support and support pages)
Import your data in the legendary admob into the new admob.
Honestly, I do not want to complete this last step due to the new policies of the new admob:
Payment methods changed: as I understand it, paypal is no longer a valid payment method. EFT and Western Union checks are valid forms of payment.
To choose a payment method, you need to reach a balance of $ 10.
Additional information may be required to select a payment method, for example, valid tax IDs and more, if applicable. This "additional information" is available after a balance of $ 10.
Payment thresholds changed: thresholds increased to $ 100. If you have a monthly income of $ 30, itβs enough to receive monthly payments with a threshold value of $ 20. However, with an increased threshold of $ 100, you will receive payments every 3-4 months.
