At my wiki Special:PasswordReset
I receive the error message:
A password reset email has already been sent, within the last 24 hours. To prevent abuse, only one password reset email will be sent per 24 hours.
The problem is that it's been far longer than 24 hours since the last password reset email was requested (or sent). Can I force send the email?

You could temporarily set $wgPasswordReminderResendTime to a lower value than 24.

Thanks Bartosz,
That is a variable I didn't know about: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPasswordReminderResendTime
I actually used maintenance/CreateAndPromote.php https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:CreateAndPromote.php to force set a new password; and instructed the user to login and change it.
Note: the user didn't receive any reset emails because the site IP address was listed on at least one RBL and their email service provider dropped/blocked the email messages. After a delay, I received the bounce notifications in my spam folder (using GMail as my service provider).

if you can do that you may have access to just use the changePassword.php maintenance script.

In case you are the system admin and have access to the MediaWiki directory on the host, you can do the following
open a shell and enter the following commands:
cd path\to\your\mediawiki\maintenance php changePassword.php ––user="youruser" ––password="Your new password"
If you have no access, ask the admin to do so and change your password afterwords, of course.
