Replacing Screen and Digitizer, biometrics?

I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I purchased an iPad Air 2 from a person locally. It has a broken screen and digitizer. My intent was to fix it this for myself as I've fixed quite a few iPad 2's with the help of ifixit.

My question is this. If I replace the screen and digitizer can I bypass the biometric security if the previous owner has given me the passcode? Or can I reset it for a new owner?

If I can't then there is no point at purchasing the parts and I'll just have to take the loss for buying it in the first place.

Thanks

Well from my point of view..... I would NEVER buy a iPad Air with a Broken LCD

It would cost you around 200-250 to get the screen fixed.

As for the touch. You can reset the touch ID with the Passcode. But you still cant do anything about the Apple ID.
