Finally set up computer after pulling it out of storage.  Turns out after sitting for a year, my password did not save as usual, and Steam wont let me login anymore.

Email is a dead hotmail account, phone number is no longer mine, and steam says my user name is not valid. I don't know how to get my account back. It shoulld have been saved on the computer.

The reason my computer was in storage and I wasn't actively using is I had to go to prison for a little while.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to try and get everything back? Or am I screwed and have to buy everything again?

UPDATE: Finally got back in through support and verifying an old form of payment and address

Did you by chance have the steam app on your phone before? May be a help if ya did, but yeah that would be a panic attack inducing problem for me too, good luck.

Hotmail accounts -- now Outlook, or more generally, Microsoft accounts -- should be "inactive" but still available to re-activate. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/reopen-your-microsoft-account-52d7f36e-4c2f-489a-8584-de5fc7918362 (Though you may not be able to, if you've lost access to recovery methods.)

Your best bet is going through the Help I can't login thing on their support page. I wish you the best of luck bro, if anything happened to my steam I'd probably die. https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithLogin
