Steam refuses to start

[Prince Abu]

I can connect to the internet properly, and steam can go into offline mode.

But whenever i try to go online, steam cannot connect, and despite retries and computer restarts, it doesnt work.

How do i fix this?

Sorry Abu, I don't have an answer at the moment, but I am experiencing the same problem. I can't for the life of me figure out what caused it either.

Anyone know a fix? This is quite frustrating.

....Really, where in the world did that come from?

[Edit]
Thanks by the way, besides having to step through a password reset, that was relatively painless. Also, I would like to know how you heard of the fix.

Im screwed.
I reinstalled steam, forgot my account name, account's email address no longer works.
