Hey HamidoOoOo,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


If you are able to get into the phone by using the passcode, try using this article to resolve the issue with Touch ID.


iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883


Resolving issues with Touch ID

  1. Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
  2. Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
  3. If you're using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
  4. Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and verify that:
    • iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on.
    • You enrolled one or more fingerprints.
  5. Try enrolling a different finger.
  6. If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.


Have a nice day,

Mario

Hey HamidoOoOo,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Whe you turn on the iPhone it sould still allow you to swipe over to put in a passcode instead of using Touch ID.

If that doesnt work follow this article.


iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281


If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.


If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.


Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.


If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Have a nice day,
