You would have had to set up a pin to go along with the fingerprint, otherwise a fingerprint reader failure would result in you not being able to log in. Do you have a go-to pin that you would use?
Is it asking for a pin because it can't read your fingerprint? Try turning off the computer, waiting a minute or two and turning it back on (not reboot}. I had something similar last night (non Samsung laptop). Fingerprint reader decided to take a vacation. I was required to set a pin on setup, so I was able to log in with it. Rebooted to no joy. Turned iff and restarted and the reader was back in action. If that works for you and you get in, go to you account sertings and set a pin so that you have an alternate log in method and your people can get into your computer should something happen to you.
