Brake issues
Ok guys, I'm a horrible mechanic. I have a 2002 RX300 with 230,000 miles. I had a hard to push brake peddle. With some research i decided to change out the power booster. I changed it out and while doing so had to take off the master cylinder. I did not replace the master cylinder. Because the master came off and i had the brake lines open after getting everything back together i did a brake brake fluid bleed at all four calipers.
On the first test drive it seems all four calipers are locked up. The car will barely move.
Any ideas on what i might have done wrong? This is the first time i've done any brake work other than replacing pads.
Thanks for reading this and any help you might have.

If you’re brakes are locking up abnormaly, you need to tighten (turn the nut clockwise) the booster rod.
There are videos out there to perform this.
There is a tool to help you gauge the adjustment you need.
Hope this helps.
