If it weren't for the bitlocker you wouldn't have to wait the 30 days. Call MSFT support? good luck. As for the finger print. Shut down the machine during boot 3 times that should bring up the 'safety menu' meaning giving you the option to safe start Windows - that typically will reset the PIN counter - meaning you can try your fingerprint again. also slide your finger a bit it changes the read.
without further details that's all I can tell you for now.

Encrypting data on a device creates a big risk of losing all your data if the owner ever gets locked out (e.g., forgets password). (Window’s Bitlocker, which the OP says he used, encrypts files on a hard drive.) Even a typical computer consultant cannot access encrypted files without the password (or similar security mechanism used). Good luck.
