If it's electric, did you turn the power on before you filled it with water? If you did, you burned out the elements. If you filled it first, but did not bleed off the air in the tank with the T&P valve or by opening a faucet, you may have burned out only the top element. It may also have tripped the reset button on the upper thermostat, which can be found behind the top panel on the front of the heater. Take off the cover and press the red button on the thermostat to reset it.
