You are using the localhost. That is the reason for failed in sending emails. That is you needt o configure SMTP settings on your system then only you can send mails .To set SMTP protocol please visit this link

You have to run a mailserver on your localhost. XAMPP, for example has Mercury for this. You have to configure this to run so that you are able to recieve and send mails. After that you you have to go to joomlas global konfiguration and add the connection data.

But why you do this on a local maschine? do you want to reset the admin account? if so do it in the database - much easier ;)
