I received my 8th generation IPad. I have tried repeatedly to get the fingertip ID to set up it will not. I have gone to “add a fingertip” but I will not work. What can I do to make it work?

For IPad 8th generation........how do I get my fingerprint ID to work? I could not get it to accept my fingerprint when I was setting up the IPad I received on Monday. Now I am at “add a fingerprint” and it will not even bring up the fingerprint for me to tap with my index finger. Please advise.

iPad, iPadOS 14
