Did you take a look at the linked forum post:

> In case you imported a site that you do not have an admin login for or you simply forgot your admin password, here’s how you can gain access to the WordPress admin for a Local site on your computer. Method A: Use WordPress’ Lost your password?...

Because Local is a development tool, it uses a piece of software called “Mailhog” to capture all emails and prevent them from being sent. Because of this, you’ll need to take a look at Mailhog itself to see those emails. You can access Mailhog from under the “Utilities” tab within Local.
