No Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac) will allow signing in with a fingerprint immediately after a restart. You need to use a passcode the first time signing in after a restart.

If you have forgotten the passcode, see: If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support
