Steam Support will not request your Steam account password for any reason, nor will you ever be asked to enter your Steam account password into a website form.

To fix this problem you need to exit from Steam (if it's running) and delete a file in your Steam directory called:

ClientRegistry.blob

This would typically be in:

c:\Valve\Steam

or

c:\program files\Steam

The next time you start Steam it will re-create this file, do a brief update and then you should be able to play.

Re-installing Steam on top of an old install may not fix a problem like this, you would have to use the add/remove program in the control panel.
