Problem solved!
I had a filter hooked onto random_password filter to generate passwords with custom rules and get_password_reset_key uses the function wp_generate_password to generate the key, and that is why I was getting the behavior I was getting. Allz I had to do was to remove my filter from it, and bada bing bada boom, it works.
