The way Wordpress handle a password reset looks like this:
You submit your email adress or username via this

Wordpress send you a reset confirmation like that via email:
" Someone has asked to reset the password for the following site and username.
http://DOMAIN_NAME.TLD/wordpress Username:
admin To reset your password visit the following address,
otherwise just ignore this email and nothing will happen
http://DOMAIN_NAME.TLD/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=o7naCKN3OoeU2KJMMsag "
You click on the link, and then Wordpress reset your admin password,
and sends you over another email with your new credentials.
