How did you end up linking your daughter account to a stranger's ? Doesn't make sense.
I'll leave a link to register so you can communicate here , as a guest account you can't.https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=409154

 

[me just saying]

Did you buy the device used or new? unless her account password was compromised, I cannot see how it could be linked to a stranger's. Now if the device was used, you would not be able to get on it without the previous owner's account being deleted. But you said you need to wipe it so that possibility is out. Sounds like you will have to go through Google to get help on this.

It sounds like a used phone with the old owner's Google account still on it, and no lock screen. You'll have to have the old owner remove his/her Google account from the phone, then you can do a factory reset. (As long as the old account is there, you'll need the password for that account to do a factory reset. Removing the account also requires the account's password.)

I agree with all of the above. Hopefully the OP is on the level with us and the issue is with a used phone. If not, then wow, this would be a new approach to asking about how to break into someone else's phone.:-\
