You cannot use Touch ID after a restart -- you need the passcode.


If you've forgotten the passcode, see instructions in: How to remove your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch passcode without a computer - Apple Support


If that option is not available, you will need to use a computer. See:

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

or

If you forgot your iPad passcode - Apple Support
