It sounds like you have air in your brake system. You will have to bleed the brakes to get it out.

Did you leave the cap to the fluid resevoir off for a long period of time. If you did then the brake fluid absorbed to much moisture and has gone bad and theres no way to get the air out of the lines. You will have to change the fluid.
