How to delete touch ID password if my home button is broken

I dropped my phone and can't replace the button because if I do it will not recognize the ID and it has a password still on it.

You can flash your iPhone with 3uTools. But don't select the option: Retain User's Data While Flashing. And your iPhone will just be like the new one without any data.

Yes, it is a computer application. If you just forgot the homescreen code, you can use it to restore your iPhone. But you need to enter recover mode or dfu mode so that you can flash you iPhone.
