When I do this, it asks for my Face ID and the phone does not recognize it. Tried to reset my Face ID - same problem.

I'm having exactly the same problem, but with Touch ID. My Touch ID isn't recognizing my fingerprint. When I try to change it, it requires Touch ID (Catch 22). After several failures, it asks for the password (I'm in my home, which is a familiar location). After entering the password, when I try to delete the fingerprint to add a new one, it says I need to scan my non-working fingerprint again (Catch 22). This repeats over and over. Just entering the passcode won't allow disabling Stolen Device Protection. Is there no way to reset the iPhone to turn off Stolen Device Protection?
