If your HTML looks something like this:

<input id="my_input_field" value="my value" type="text" disabled="disabled"/>

Then you can use the following jQuery to retrieve the value:

$("#my_input_field").val();

See the jQuery documentation to find out in what way you can access elements in the HTML document.

Check the documentation of jQuery

Selectors -> Select the right element Attributes -> Check what the value is

You can use

$("#input_field").attr("disabled");

to see if the input_field is disabled
