Help! I lost access to a purchased Steam account. What can I do?

We cannot provide assistance without confirming that you are the original account owner. Any purchases, CD-Keys, or wallet funds added to the account after it was sold will not be considered valid proof of ownership. Please see our Proof of Ownership article for more information.
