Check out the search area, shed loads of post's on the subject.
Reverse bleeding is generally the way to go.

If it wont bleed after reverse fill, it might need new seals on the plunger doins, the thing the lever pumps - cant remember the ruddy name of it now. Brake hose might even be goosed too, maybe worth investin in a braided hose, its meant to vastly improve front brake, which is pretty useless anyway
