How do I unlock my Apple ID?

How do I unlock my Apple ID? My little sister was trying to download apps on my phone while I was doing homework and she kept on trying to guess my password. She kept on trying so much to download apps on my phone that it now says that my Apple ID is locked for security reasons. An I have no clue where to start on how to unlock it.
