Recover Your Super User Password On Your Local Machine

The other day I was working on my Mac OSX 10.6 MacBook Pro. A very old model. I imported the database from a live site. When I tried to log in to the root/super user, I was not able to. The password would not work. My first thought was,  "how am I going to recover my password?"

Why doesn't the password recovery work?

For me, my mac would not send out the email.

The link would not find my computer because the Drupal installation is only accessible from localhost
