PLEASE HELP...Brakes locked after front pad change

[papaburgundy25]

I have changed brake pads before on my other cars and this was my first time on my girlfriends 2008 Mazda 3. I did everything Ive done before and when I was done and went to move car it wouldnt move....it would if I put gas but didnt push it...im afraid of ruining something. Not sure what I did wrong and what to do...please help. Thanks.

You probably didn't turn the rear caliper piston in, requires a special too. As the pads wear and the handbrake is
used the rear caliper pistons ar pusher out to compensate for pad wear and lock in position.

Ok so problem might be something else...like maybe theres no transmission fluid....and this is what happens when I dont live with her for 9 months. So ill update after I get some trans fluid somehow.
