Did you adjust just the brakes or the cable to? The brake cable should have an adjustment nut that can be turned

Parking brake will not keep car from moveing when i push e pedal to floor.

Without knowing which type of e-brake you have (foot pedal or handbrake), just about ever type of e-brake has two places to adjust it, well, that bears explanation. The one actual adjustment will be near the operator, either under the handle on a hand brake, or above the pedal on a pedal brake. You will notice that there is a long threaded rod with two nuts on it, loosen those and turn them down to pull slack out of the cable which runs to the rear wheels,

Now the other item is not so much an adjustment, it may be just wear on the pads or shoes of the brake itself. Some cars will use the regular braking pads/shoes as the same means for the e-brake, while others have pads/shoes committed to just the e-brake.

I would suggest attempting the cable adjustment in the drivers compartment first, as if this does not work you will be needing either a shop or brake mechanic to open the rear brakes.

Ebrake adjustment

Either under the car(look for cables) or the brake pads are wore out if they are separate from the regular brake pads.

Just replaced my brakes pads and rotors, i tried my e-brake and the ABS and brake warning lights came on and E-brake didnt work. Do I have to adjust the E-brakes?

Yes, when you replaced pads on the rear brakes you need to readjust the rear brakes. This is usually very simple to do. Find a safe area to back up about 50 ft. You want to start the vehicle backing up then hit the brakes hard to activate the automatic adjusters until the E brake works. Do this about 3 times then try the Emergency brake and see if it holds. If it doesn't repeat the process. The ABS warning probably came on because a rear caliper extended too far so check those and make sure the boots on the ends of the calipers did not come off. If they did, collapse the caliper and replace the boot. In some cases with older vehicles you can actually adjust this manually with a flat screwdriver from the back side of the drum. To do that you want to adjust it until the rear pads make full contact with the drums then back it off 3 to 5 clicks. so the pads clear the drum in normal operation but are close enough to work when you apply the brakes.

Why are the front brakes of a camry 97 rubbing?

because you didnt clean/lubricate the pistons before you replaced the pads they are not able to move back enough to clear the rotors when driving,they should settle down with wear.....( copperslip/anti squeel grease.)

After changing pads and roto's on the front the brake petal goes to the floor and won't recover pressure? I didn't loosen brake lines or bleeders

You obviously got air in your lines while you were changing the pads. The brakes now need bleeding. Once you bleed them, your pedal will come firm again. But the good news is that you will only have to bleed the front brakes....Please don't forget to rate this answer for me...

Brake pad is sticking.

Work the caliper piston in and out until it moves freely, otherwise buy a new caliper

Replced front brake pads and calipers adjusted

Bleed the master cylinder first. You have to do that before you belled any calipers or wheel cylinder.
