Re: Problem reseting touch ID with stolen device protection on.

You might have to reset the device altogether, then recover your data from an iCloud backup.   From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Paul Hopewell <hopew...@hopewell.org.uk> Date: Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 11:23 To: macvisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Problem reseting touch ID with stolen device protection on. Hello, I have a backup iPhone SE 2020 just updated to IOS 17.5. Touch ID no longer works so I need to reset it by adding a new fingerprint. I have stolen device protection set on which means that I have to do Touch ID to let me add a fingerprint! This iPhone SE is my backup phone and has been in a desk drawer at home for ages and has not left home for weeks. I have just left it switched on for an hour or so in the hope that it would then let me add the new fingerprint, but no luck. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
