Hi to all 
Please can someone help me 
I'm using my daughter's phone and she's still signed into her Samsung account on this device. I can't reset the phone because of her photos and what ever else is on here 
Our files are getting mixed up somehow 
I don't know her password to sign her out 
She doesn't remember it and no longer has the old phone number for verification 
Its driving me all sorts is going wrong 
Storage full 
Her photos getting backed up to my Google account 
My photos are getting saved to her Samsung cloud

Are you wanting to factory reset the device so it wipes all data?

No mate definitely not just sign out of her Samsung account
I can't reset the phone not sure if she has her account backed up and saved
And she remembers none of her details passwords or her verification number or email
So I'm not happy

To reset password you'll need to get 2-step verification code which, you're not going to get if the account is linked to an old number.

For this aspect, the Samsung account holder will need to call Samsung Support and speak with the accounts team. There is a webform to do it online but that takes 2 weeks... not sure if accounts can do it quicker but worth a check.

Once number is updated then can update password and sign out.

Your photos won't be backed up to her Samsung Cloud. Samsung Cloud doesn't back up photos/videos. These will be backed up to Google Photos or Microsoft One Drive.

Go to Google Photos (if installed on phone.) Click on circle at top right and press the arrow (pointing down) next to the name/email and see what account the photos are being backed up to.
