Changing the Passcode will not affect the fingerprint registered.

How can I reset my Touch ID if I forgot my password? I can’t create a new fingerprint because you gotta know the old one I have to work before you put in a new one it mine’s not working. I can’t remember my password so I was trying to do touch ID. I know my passcode, but I can’t use my touch ID. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I can’t change my Touch ID So I got a problem So I turned on Stolen Device Protection on my IPhone SE, and then, some time later, Touch ID stopped working (IDK why it just doesn't recognize my thumb) So I want to fix Touch ID (by deleting and re-adding my existing fingers, or adding a new finger). But I can't change Touch ID, because Stolen Device Protection doesn't trust my thumb print; it requires that I authenticate via Touch ID (which doesn't work.) A solution would be temporarily to disable Stolen Device Protection, then fix Touch ID, then re-enable Stolen Device Protection. But the problem is I’m unable to do that without a working Thumb print. Important stuff are locked because of this including saved passwords and other stuff can anybody help me fix this?
