Research direction

Start by reproducing the reset-password request at /admin/auth/user/ID/password/ in the stated Open edX and Tutor versions, then trace the Django admin route handling that URL. Confirm the route resolves to the reset form and add or update coverage for the user password-reset flow so the 404 no longer occurs.
