also, when you are pushing in on the pedal make sure the car is ON. Otherwise the pedal will be very hard no matter what when the car is off...

Wouldn't be the first bad booster I've seen. With the engine running pull the check valve out of the booster and make sure you have a good Vac signal. Next thing is do you have any brake pedal travel or is it hung up at the top with the brakes locked. Some have a adjustable plunger that isn't adjusted and will hang the pedal at the top. See if the wheels will turn after yet release the pedal.
