yes, right click on user profile icon and click reset option
I have reset the password and got a message.
"Password reset, user notified"
But the user is not receiving any mail.
Where can I find the elgg mail settings. ?
We have a wiki with documentation: http://docs.elgg.org/
The short answer is that it is a server configuration issue, not an Elgg issue.
Are you on local host or on production?
I hve a production and a test.
Mail is not working in both machines. Plz find the test server mail log when I reset the password of a user.

Do I ned to install my own mail server for elgg ??
If I can use yahoo or gmail, how can I ?
You need to fix your server. This is not an Elgg issue. Talk to the tech support for your server.
Just google for php mail() function and see whether mail() function is working in your server.
@Anoop follow the steps to check mail function
And if function is disabled you need to contact your hostprovider or change you hosting service.
