    Contact Facebook and tell your daughter to change her password.

The following should work hopefully while Facebook responds to your daugther.

If you are able to sign in to the account again

  1. Go to Facebook Settings and then click edit to right of the email section. There should only be one email there. Remove any secondary sets.

  2. Now go right below this setting and you should see an edit link for the Password section. Change your password.

  3. Go to Security Settings and enable Login Notifications

  4. Enable Login Approvals by selecting the checkbox for

    Require me to enter a security code each time an unrecognized computer or device tries to access my account

  5. Go to Recognized Devices, remove all devices.

Additional settings, depending on where your daughter usually logs in,

  • Clear all cookies
  • Enable Secure Browsing
  • Stay off insecure Wifi access points.
  • Ensure someone is not free-loading on your internet. You may want to check the client list.

What do I do if my account was completely taken over by someone, and they are using my account with their information and I can't regain access to my account.?
