Resetting (pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears) does not remove fingerprints. If you mean you did something in Settings>General>Reset, it might help to specify which of the several options available on that page you used. However, as you didn't have the same problem as the OP, your "solution" can't really be said to have been tested.

Thank you all guys
but i just realized that its not the problem with finger print.
i have enabled finger print option and locked the phone. After that by clicking home button (using any finger) it will login without asking anything even pass-code. i think this is not secure anymore. when i disable finger print option, then it will works fine like iphone 5.
anyone know anything..??
