An unbalanced load prevents the generator delivering its maximum power. That is because each phase has an equal upper current limit that it can deliver, and in an unbalanced system, if one phase is delivering the rated current it follows that the others are not.

What significance has a power factor in an unbalanced system?

A three-phase 'unbalanced' system refers to the load, as the supply voltages are unaffected by load. So the phase-angle and, therefore, the power factor of each phase will be different -i.e. there will be three different power factors.

How do you balance the unbalanced load in 3 phase?

If the load is connected in wye (star) and it has a neutral, then the vectorial-difference of the phase currents will flow in the neutral and there will be no problem. On the other hand, if there is no neutral, then an unbalanced load would cause unbalanced phase voltages.

How do you get line to neutral voltage form line to line voltage especially when there is unbalance in line to line voltage?

It is highly unusual for the supply system's line voltages to be unbalanced as the source is considered to be an infinite bus. On the other hand, it is not in the least unusual for the line currents to be unbalanced, as they are determined by the load. If a unbalanced star (wye) connected load has no neutral, then the phase voltages will become unbalanced.
