You have blown the o-ring on the back side of the piston. Let me guess...you still have the parking brake on!

You can't get any pressure because the fluid is blowing by the o-ring. The parking brake adjusting bolt was adjusted to far in.

get yourself a $10 parking brake blockoff plate and take that dam* thing off! it sucks, to get the piston back in take the brake resivor off and take a big screw driver and arch it with that. it works. or push really hard with your fingers.

The best way to compress the piston in the caliper is to do it with 6" C-clamp. This provides even pressure across the piston face. Prying against it risks breaking something.

About the brakes not working after changing pads, that's fairly common. Even if you wouldn't have blown that seal you would've likely had to bleed those brakes anyway.
