Use the old pad to have something for the screwdriver to lean on and try to force it back.You may also want to remove the cap on the master cylinder and put a rag under it in case some fluid spills out[this is to relieve pressure].You can also use a large C-clamp pushing on the old pad to try to push the piston back in.If it doesn't move and I have had this problem many times before,it will be time for a rebuilt caliper.Good luck.
