There are two ways to get your number off that account, a transfer of billing responsibility or port your number to a different carrier. In order to do a transfer of billing responsibility, someone needs to have access to the account in order to initiate the transfer. To port your number, you need the account number and a port pin. If you know the account number, you may be able to get a port pin without account access. However, there must be some way for you or someone else on the account to access the account. The account user id is almost certainly her email address and knowing that, you should be able to reset the password.
