If the iPhone is disabled, you cannot back it up.

For the OP, the instructions for restoring your iPhone are here. If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

You can remove the passcode by doing this

wait until it is no longer disabled ( thank you Chris)
connect your phone to your computer
encrypt the backups
back up the phone
put your phone into recovery mode
restore the phone
restore the backup
all passcodes are gone
