A disabled account typically happens for payment or security issues.


You didn’t specify which message, so here are the available options:


—Option 1–

When "If your Apple ID is locked or disabled" message appears, then there is an issue with your password authentication.


Click Here for step-by-step instructions.


—Option 2—

When "your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes," there is an issue with the payment method.


In this case, I recommend contacting Apple Support for help from an Apple advisor.
