Hold pedal down open bleeder, with pedal on floor hold and close bleeder lift pedal, repeat several times ensuring that there is plenty of fluid in the resiviour. If pedal fails to respond you may have a faulty master as well.

Have you ever heard of removing the master cylinder and putting it downward so the air will come out by putting a pry bar on the slave cylnder and working it back and forth. If so is this an effective way of getting this air out of the system.
