See these circumstances:

Unlock 1 = SIM not supported:-> How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier - Apple Support

Unlock 2 = SIM PIN:-> Contact your carrier asking them for your SIM PUK code

Unlock 3 = Activation Lock:--> How to remove Activation Lock

If you mean something different, please better specify "how" it is locked.

Giulio
