Because your token is incorrect, it should be a string length of 64 characters and look like this:

a8935edacb0711a304395c1f58979b545b4a636387053de6012e73048e5a60d2

And in your password_resets table in your database, it should be encrypted and look like this:

$2y$10$YOdbMZk2N7xLsfXZIuMIv.ZayZQCB21L.GXVPdtt/WMOO1hJL7enO

Change your MAIL_DRIVER= to log, truncate password_resets table (if on local), then do another password reset, then check your logs to read the email and see what the password reset token is. Copy and paste that url in your browser and see if you still get that error then we take it from there. :)
