i want help removing a message continually asking me to set up fingerprint recognition when I want to continue using my passcode

Welcome!

See this Apple article:

Set up Touch ID on iPad - Apple Support

If tyou turn off Touch ID as indicated in the article, that may stop the messages.

A note for future posts here: These are not chat rooms or Apple. These are forums of end users like you who respond on a time-available basis, so patience is the keyword. Posting the same question twice in three minutes cannot get you faster help, and may cause some people to ignore your question.

Setting up TouchID will not prevent you from using your password if that's what you prefer.
