Is there anyway to use fingerprint (Touch ID) instead of passcode to unlock an iPhone on IOS10? I can't remember my passcode?

No way.
No; finger print identification isn't built into phones.
Yes you can just try it
You will have to erase the phone and start fresh. Hopefully you've got a backup in iTunes or iCloud.
Apple support: "If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled"

Well setting up Touch ID in the 1st place is to use the scanner rather than the passcode, though they make you use a passcode as a backup or in case of someone else using the phone & also when you restart the phone (the 1st time only).
If you can't remember the passcode you'd have to look at recovery options.
You can unless the phone was just restarted or turned on.
Touch ID once set up, doesn't require you to enter your passcode on an iPhone unless you just rebooted your phone, or, the Touch ID failed to read your fingerprints for 5 times.
However, the problem now is that to set up your touch ID, you would need to first unlock your phone, which requires a passcode. Furthermore, going to the Touch ID settings requires you to enter your password again.
Now, since you're question implies that you have not set up touch ID, and can't remember your passcode, you won't be able to set up touch ID. So the answer is no. You can't, if you can't remember your passcode.
- Should I update my iPhone 6 to iOS10? I have ios 9.3.2 and it works great. But everyone is like "omg u still haven't updated it to the 10? I'm afraid I won't like it? What is my phone becomes slow?
- This is my first iphone (4s) can't remember passcode. How do I unlock it? Can't remember pass code on iphone 4s. How do I get this taken off? Where I can use a different code. I HATE IPHONES. Samsung Galaxy s3 here i come.
- Is there anyway I can manually reset my iPhone 5s completely without using iTunes or passcode? I need to reset my iPhone 5s and I don't have access to a computer right now and my cousin thought it was funny to change my passcode I can't just call him to get it so that's not an option. Is there ANY other way? Like any buttons is have to hold? Lol
- Is there anyway I can bypass my passcode on my iPhone 4 or it's a 5 I'm not sure but I can't remember the passcode but I need it I know you can restore but I don't want to do that because I don't think I have the computer I backed it up to back then. And i don't know what update this is. Like I haven't see the emergency button there at all in any videos
