Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

HT1212 My iPhone has been disabled because of a forgotten passcode how can I get into my phone

My iPhone has been locked because I forgot my passcode. How can I get into my phone?

Restore it as explained in the article you were just reading. If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808).

Apple ID has been disabled - Yes I have reset my password

Hello Gang,
I am having a hellava problem which I hope someone can help with.

I have just upgraded my ipad to ios7 and entered a passcode. When I switched on again I must have mistaken the numbers I used and my ipad is now disabled. What can I do?

You'll have to restore it to remove the passcode. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

In order to activate your iPad that has activation lock (asking for Apple ID and Password) you will need to figure out your Apple ID and Password. If you are unable to figure this out or reset your Apple ID Password, you will need to contact Apple for further assistance.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

I have an iCloud account but the email address its set to has been terminated and I have forgotten my password, how can I reset my account?

PLease tell me how to reset my iCloud account email address if I can't remember the password?

You need to setup your own user account on the computer to keep independent iCloud accounts, contacts & calendars. Then sign in to your iCloud account in your user account.

My ipad has been disabled how do undisable it so i can use it again

My Ipad has been disabled because i enterd the password to many times how do i make it so i can undisable it please help this is my life line for work?
Thanks Kdrobbin

You will have to restore/erase it to remove the Disabled status, then you can restore form a backup once it's up and running again, if you have a backup on iTunes or iCloud.
Source: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

My iPad has been disabled for more then 30 days. Apple is not solving this for me( 1 year warranty) . I also have reset the password multiple times, No Result. Who can help me?

Fellow Apple users,
Fantastic system, however on march eight I encountered that my apple ID has been Disabled.
I have tried multiple times to reset the I'd , but with NO luck at all. With other words I can not buy new credits to buy products or music. This ought to be fixed first someone has told me.
Now, I realize that my 90 day repair coverage has come an end too!!
Apple is advising me to buy repair Aid kit.
Who may inform me what to do.
Do I have to make a complete NEW Apple ID and delete the existing one, is that possible?
Kindly, I really would appreciate your comment about this hug problem!!
Thanks for your time.
Phil

With the exception of you having a problem with your Apple ID, does your iPad work properly?
