There is an Apple article that explains what to do if you have forgotten an iPhone or iPad passcode. Click on the following link: If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


If that option is not available, you will need to use a computer. See: If you forgot your iPad passcode - Apple Support


Also note that the passcode rather than the fingerprint is required every time after you power an iPad off and back on.
