Its working as designed - following quote is from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5949
To configure Touch ID, you must first set up a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode; but your passcode will be needed for additional security validation:

if I get a spare hour I might call AppleCare I hope the cure isn't RESET!! Again!
Ok, you've just been drafted! Let us know what they say. Maybe they are clueless too.😕
It has nothing to do with charging or not charging. the 2 times it has happened on my iPad the device hadn't been charged for several days.

Oddly...my iPad Air 2 has stopped asking for the password since I posted to this thread on Oct 28
It was testing you.
You passed!
I Have the same problem, but for me this start before update my iPhone 6s to iOS 9.1 but now its happening more.
Here's how to alert them: http://apple.com/feedback
Great to know Apple's aware of the problem. Now all we need is the fix. I'm relieved it wasn't something related to date & time in only my phone. Thanks for reporting it!
this has happened to me as well after it says it says 48 hrs has passed even though it didn't, I go to use the keyboard and it's frozen I slide out and slide back in and keyboard is working again
TThanks Lawrence I gave Apple feedback.
I suggest reading the rest of the thread, as it explains the issue and what others have observed.
Thanks for repeating what has been said over a dozen times in the message thread you just replied to.
If you can't say something constructive don't say anything at all Troll!
I stand by my prior post.
I think that's consistent with what I said above, using different words. But if that helps everybody understand it better, then great.
I like your diagnosis. I think your phone IS haunted. I have to report to all concerned parties that my phone stil hasn't behaved badly since I did the soft reset.
Please quit trolling.
