My IPhone has been disabled and i cant reset it because the lock button has broke which means i cant get to the Recovery Mode. I tried to do iCloud erase but my phone is not connected to the wifi. And i also tried to connect it to itunes but i do not have the computer that i last restored it with... How do i reset this iphone!!!?

You don't. Make an appointment at the genius bar and get it fixed / replaced.

Any computer will do if you want to restore, but you would need the power button in order to use recovery mode which is the only thing that would work for you now, so I think you are pretty much hosed at this point, You need the power and home buttons in order to put the device into recovery mode, so I think the iPad has come to the end of its usefulness.
