The iCloud email passwords are the same as her Apple ID password.


If the steps in the article below don’t work, contact Apple ID Support, although I’m not sure they will be able to help.

From the article below. 


Without proof of your identity via security questions and other carefully selected criteria, Apple Support can't help you reset a password or perform any other actions on your account. These policies are audited and reviewed on a regular basis.
