Hi CPM,
Are you using the Swift Mailer module? It appears that there's a bug with the password reminder email being sent out with that module. If you don't have it enabled, it's either a problem with your PHP mail() function or the email address on file for the account isn't correct.
Here's a temporary solution - but it'll work any time you, the admin, is unable to get access to the admin panel.
Create a PHP file on your server with this content. Just change "mypassword" to whatever password you want:
Load it up in your browser, then copy & paste the generated (i.e. encrypted) password into your database's ft_accounts table (the table prefix depends on your installation). Specifically, you'll need to update the password field for your user account record (it'll be account_id = 1). PhpMyAdmin or some other tool will be needed for this step.
Hope this helps, and I'll tackle the Swift Mailer problem soon... soon as I get a spare moment. Ack!
