just detach it from sql 2005 server and attach it to sql 2012 instance. Its backward compatible and should work fine in new instance. I hope your sql 2005 db is at 90 compatibilty level and doesnt have any changes which 2012 doesnt support

Make sure you read this before you proceed with attach

Article suggests the steps to be followed clearly so I dont think I need to add anything to that.
