- Verify if this is happening for all the users or any specific user.

- Check if user is able to receive other notifications like incident creation, incident update, etc.

- When a user tries to reset the password, check sysevent table on the instance and verify if the "password.reset" event got triggered. 

- Impersonate the user on the instance and check their preferences for the notification especially the Primary Email Address value. Make sure it has the correct email address.

- Make sure user has subscribed to the password notification.

- Check cmn_notif_device table and see if proper device type is configured for the user. If not, create one device by setting Type as Email and correct email address.
