Cannot login into one of my Steam accounts: "Could not connect to the Steam network."

[Bomjus]

So, like a lot of Steam users I have multiple accounts. Recently I was playing Payday 2 on one of these accounts and I could not see my achievements. So I thought "I'll just restart Steam and get on with my life." Well unfortunately for me I can no longer log into that account. It is not an internet issue because I can still log into ALL of my other accounts it is specifically this one that I cannot log into. This is also all on the same computer. I have looked at other forum posts and this problem still persists. The closest I came to fixing it was one fix where you delete all files in the steam folder except for the Steam.exe and the SteamApps folder. I did that but then when I tried to log in I was greeted by a new message "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers." And I was given the option to retry or cancel.

I just do not get it.... This account does not have steam guard enabled. Whenever I try to log into this account through the steampowered.com website the request just times out and nothing happens. I have seen other people fix it by doing the whole remove all files except apps and the exe then they start it in offline mode then go online and its fixed. But the worst part for me is that I cannot even go into offline mode because I cannot get past the, "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers." with the log in client. While I could understand this being an issue with my own internet or Steam server problems I can connect to all of my other 4 accounts perfectly fine with no problems whatsoever. Any help is appreciated I will keep trying solutions that I find and post if it becomes fixed. Thanks

EDIT: It appears I am not alone with this issue as there is another topic just like this a few threads below this one in the Help and Tips section. This might be attributed to me participating in the new streaming beta on my account that I can no longer log into. However I deleted all the steam files and I can still log into my other accounts so I cannot grasp how this might be relevant but I thought I would share it anyway.

No, I never got h1z1. I only have basic free to play games with some exceptions like goat sim, terraria and fnaf 1-4.

The thing is, none of my friends have this issue, but at the same time they dont have multiple accounts.
