Answer 1

This is a known bug in certain versions of Magento.

Try overriding the below template. Then remove the onclick and change the button type to a submit (code is below):

app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/forgotpassword.phtml

change

<button class="forgot-password" onclick="loginForm.submit()" type="button"><span><span><span><?php echo Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Retrieve Password'); ?></span></span></span></button>

to

<button class="forgot-password" type="submit"><span><span><span><?php echo Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Retrieve Password'); ?></span></span></span></button>

If you are using nginx, add this to your config file:

location = /js/index.php/x.js {
   rewrite ^(.*\.php)/ $1 last;
}
