How to unlock my phone if it is disabled

how do I unlock my iPhone if it is disabled and computer says it has to be unlocked to sync

If it is locked by passcode, you need to restore by using the recovery mode to connect to a computer running iTunes, per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 as summarized:
If it is locked by Activation Lock, the Apple ID and password need to be entered to unlock.

    my brother have sent me a iphone5 in Bangladesh, now how to unlock the phone, because cellular not connect

    Send it back to your brother & have him get it officially unlocked, because there is no way for you to do that.
    Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking, & most(if not all) will not authorize such unless your are a customer that used the phone on their network...obviously not you.
    So, send it back to your brother & have him get it unlocked or return it for a refund.

    You will need to restore the phone on the computer that you normally sync the phone to. That is the only method. You can restore from a backup so that will no affect your data.
