Probably you dont have any mail server installed/enabled (like sendmail/qmail/postfix) in your local machine. You can still reset your admin password from database. The table “wp_users” stores the password in the “user_pass” field
You can just replace the value with a md5 hash value of your desired password for the admin user.
Note: This is good for test/local environments and dont do so in Production server because it invalidates the effect of salt 🙂
