start the engine and pump the brakes and then refill the master cylinder and see if you have brakes, if not you will have to bleed the brakes you worked on.

Pump the break pedal several times to adjust the calipers. When you changed the pads you had to push the piston in to the caliper until it bottomed out. Now there is a gap between your pads and rotor, when you push the pedal all the fluid is trying to push the pad but because of the gap you feel no pressure. If that doesn't work check for leaks. Feel free to contact me if you need further help.

usually after you change brake pads and or capilers you have to pump the pedal with the engine running, this is to reset the pistons. if you had to take of any brake lines you will need to top off your fluid and then bleed the brakes. there should be a little nut to turn on the capiler, you loosen it and have someone mash on the brake until fluid comes out then tighten it up and they should work

If pedal is going all the way to floor, the master cylinder is BAD. NO question about it.
