If you were still unable to recover your account, then the last and only option is to contact steam customer care support directly. Their email address is given below.

Steam support is very helpful at least that was my experience when my account was hacked. They helped me recover it. I hope they will help you the same way in resetting the email id and password of your steam account.

Type 5: Nothing works: Last gamble

If all your attempts of recovering your steam account failed, then what you can do is try and guess all the possible passwords. If your account was hacked, then this might not help. But if you have just forgotten your email and password, then this trick can help you.

You need to guess your own password and make a list of all possible passwords you might have used. By using this, you should be able to guess your password and hopefully reset and recover your account.

This is as I said the last gamble. If this doesn’t work, then chances are your steam account is lost. Steam customer support is the only one that can help provided they are sure about your identity.

So these were the most trusted ways by which you can recover a steam account that has been lost or hacked or in any case for that matter.

Q2. I do not have access to my email id and mobile number.

Use alternate items to prove your ownership. Invoices of games you have on your account can be used to verify your identity. Contact customer support and provide the invoices to claim the account.

Q3. I was banned (game ban or vac ban) in the game because of the hacker what can I do?

Contact the customer care of the game in which you were banned. Do note not all game developers help people whose accounts were banned. Games like Pubg would not restore your account even if it was hacked by someone. I too have faced a ban because of this. They have stated in the terms and conditions that they will not help if your account was hacked. You yourself are responsible for the security of the account. That is what they will say. You can still try though with luck you will be able to restore your account.
