I recently let my friend use my steam account for about half an hour. I installed steam on his computer and logged into my account. I installed Garrysmod and Half Life 2 and he played them for A bit. He logged off, and never did anything else on steam. I go on today, and in the middle of playing Trackmania United, I get an error message that says "STEAM ERROR: Account expired, please re-enter password." So I re-entered my password, and it said "ERROR: account does not exist or password is incorrect." So I re-entered it again a couple more times, same thing. I reset steam and it asked me to log on, same thing. Account does not exist.
I kept trying for about an hour and it said "Steam - Waring; Connection to steam servers lost." and it gave a link to troubleshooting tips and crap. Is there something wrong with the steam servers? Or am I banned?
I was able to install and play my account on the computers at my school, and play Gmod with HL2 and TF2. I never had any problems.
My friend never had my account information, I merely logged in and let him play Gmod for half an hour. I went home, and he logged off my account and went onto his, and his account had preloads" of the games I had on my account, but he never opened them.
Could someone help me or tell me whats wrong?
tl;dr Let friend play account, got error message that account expired.

Jumped to conclusion before fully reading.
EDIT: Posible he hada keylogger on his PC and someone ELSE stole your account.
Just do a fresh install of steam. And get your account stuff off school computers.
[QUOTE=Samuelgames;19965898]You should be learning instead of playing Team Fortress 2 in your school's computers, anyway, try to reset your password by clicking the I lost my Password button[/QUOTE]
1. It was during Drafting class and I finished all my work.
2. Don't you think Ive tried that? I couldn't answer the question because it said "what did steam support last change your passphrase to?"
how am I supposed to answer that? I don't know what my password is.
E-mail steam support directly, giving them your steam ID, last known password and proof of purchase of at least one game on your account.

Thank you for the help, Ill try that. I have an activation code from The Orange Box, would that work?
If by activation code you mean CD-key, then yes.

Don't email them directly. Steam set up this for a reason:

Make an account and push the little "ask a question button near the top.
why would you even log into steam on a school computer, do you know how much shit is riddled on those types of computers.
