I reset my laptop and now Steam games are all missing

Question

I reset my pc and didn't expect anything to happen to my Steam account. I had a ton of games on there that were very expensive. I re-downloaded Steam on my now-reset laptop. When I looked at my profile and Steam purchase history, it was empty. I don't know how to recover the games and money I had on there.

As a little update I've done research about this over the weeks and recovered the old steam files I had but still wasn't able to get them on the account. I logged into all the steam accounts I have and all of them don't have a purchase history or friends. I will just save up the money and start up fresh and try to get the progress I had back as well. Thanks to everyone who tried to help but nothing is really working so I just give up.

Here are some possibilities:

You are signed into the wrong account (unlikely but can't leave this
out)
You have filtered out games that are not ready to play (click the
small play icon above the game list to toggle this)
You were previously accessing games via Steam Family Sharing and need
to re-authorize your computer to access those games
I notice your username is Korean. It seems unlikely but possibly, all the games you had have been region-blocked (Korea is particularly strict with games)

If those are not the case, have a look at this Steam guide for more options.
