your headers are incorrect use your headers in this way it will resolved your problem getting true part is not a big deal 

$headers =  'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; 
            $headers .= 'From: Your name <example@you_domain_name.com>' . "\r\n";
            $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

if not resolved give me the result you get using var_dump($mail); showing bool(true)

no need to use "" in the mail function if you are storing it in a variable allready. second thing check what you are getting in $email_id; variable is it the correct email address you are trying to send email . simply use like this 

  <?php
    $to = $email_id;
    $sub = "FORGOT PASSWORD";
    $msg = $password;
    $headers = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n" .
    "CC: [email protected]";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    $mail=mail($to,$sub,$msg ,$headers);

if($mail) 
 { 
 ?>
    <script>alert('Your password has been successfully sent to you');</script>
 <?

}


 else
 {
 ?>
  <script>alert('Please try again later');</script>      
 <?
 }
?>

Update

also please check your spam folder. as if you are using other domain as from email these emails may go to the spam folder . or you can use these headers

 $headers = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n" .
        "CC: [email protected]";  // enter your domain email
        $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

Write your domain name   
$headers .= 'From: Your name <example@yorudomainname>' . "\r\n";

example <[email protected]/>

Use this mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers),

If it returns true, then check your spam folder.

use 

$mail= mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers);

You dont need string as all variables are Already string.
