How to reset your password on Steam

2. Click “I forgot my Steam Account name or password”.
3. Enter the email address you used to sign up for Steam, complete the captcha, and click “Search”.
4. Click the first option to receive an account verification code, then check your email. (If you no longer have access to the email address, click the second option and follow the instructions.)
5. Click the “RESUME RECOVERY” button in your email.
6. Click “Reset my password”.

I have this problem: I’ve accidentally logged out of my Steam account and I can’t remember my password. I’ve been trying all this for a few days now, but there is no way to get past the Captcha: it always finds that it’s not good enough and it’s not satisfied I’m not a robot, so that’s as far as I can get. On top of that, if I try again a few times in a row, it thinks my coputer is sending automated requests and I have to stop. I have not been able to find a support email or any other way to contact a HUMAN who can help me sort this out.
I wish you added full Steam support!
