Check if WordPress is sending E-mails when using the forgot password form. You can test this on the login page e.g.
yourdomain.com/wp-login.php by clicking on the Lost your password? link.
Check if the default WordPress "Lost your password?" email work.
If you do not receive any E-mails it could be that your hosting disabled PHP
mail(). If this is the case you mostly see an error message that notifies you about this.If you did receive the lost password email then double check that your

Changing the email From header to match your current domain name.
If you are still unable to receive E-mails after the above steps, check if any other plugin is being used that overrides WordPress
wp_mail() functionality.If you are using a SMTP plugin or configured Super Forms to send emails via SMTP, recheck if they are configured correctly.
