locked out of steam

so my computer was really cluttered and I did a fresh install of windows, and now valve locked me out of steam, I emailed the support, but not from others I'm hearing it could take them weeks to get back to me,, what the hell, weeks? all I need is that stupid code to log in, but it is not emailing it to me(no it's no in my spam folder, it's not in any folder). Ugh now I just wait while all the great deals pass me by, I guess I could ask my friends to let me use their accounts to gift games I want to get to myself. Anyways, has anyone else had this happen to them?

Hve you tried to see if you have the emails in any other email address? Really dont want to make youfeel stupid. :)

I get the same thing as i format my computer once a year. But each time the code is normally just sent straight to my email...

I have checked all of my 3 emails, nothing. In one of them I can even see past email verification sent to me in the old mailbox from a little over a month ago, so I know it should be coming to this email. Ugh, oh well I guess, I don't think there is anything I can do but wait it out now. I hope it doesn't take too long, driving me crazy.
