Please check in your customer.xml file for "customer_account_forgotpassword".

<customer_account_forgotpassword translate="label">
        <label>Customer Forgot Password Form</label>
        <remove name="right"/>
        <remove name="left"/>

        <reference name="head">
            <action method="setTitle" translate="title" module="customer"><title>Forgot Your Password</title></action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
            <action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="customer"><title>Password forgotten</title></action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="content">
            <!--<block type="core/template" name="forgotPassword" template="customer/form/forgotpassword.phtml"/>-->
            <block type="customer/account_forgotpassword" name="forgotPassword" template="customer/form/forgotpassword.phtml" />
        </reference>
    </customer_account_forgotpassword>

File: app/design/frontend/Project/theme-name/Magento_Customer/layout/customer_account_forgotpassword.xml I just renamed name="forgotPassword" to name="forgotPasswords" and it worked:

<referenceContainer name="header.container">
        <block class="Magento\Customer\Block\Account\Forgotpassword" name="forgotPasswords" template="Magento_Customer::form/forgotpassword.phtml">
            <container name="form.additional.info" as="form_additional_info"/>
        </block>
    </referenceContainer>
