You can use the Help site to try to self recover your account or contact Steam Support if you are unable to.
If you are unable to complete the self recovery process, Steam Support will verify the account is yours and recover it for you.
When contacting Steam Support try to provide as much of the following as possible:
You can always contact Steam Support for account recovery even if a hijacker has changed all of the account's information, including the email, phone number, and password.
If you're getting stuck in the recovery process, make sure you're entering the information Steam requests at each step. For example, when searching for an account, Steam's account recovery system asks for your email address, not the account's current email address. Entering the correct information here will let you proceed to the next step, even if the account no longer uses your own email address.
