Well, first you put the potty away and wait another year til he is a bit older and can listen, comprehend and follow directions better. At least that is what I did. I got my 3 yos potty trained pretty quickly with very few accidents. My friends who started much earlier were working at it for months. That's just my opinion.
Here's what I do. I let them pick out some fun underwear. then I put their potty chair in a central location. In our last house, the potty chair was on the kitchen tile but close enough that the boys could sit and watch TV while they were waiting for something to come out. Otherwise, they would never have had patience to sit for more than 30 seconds on their potty chair. Then I put them in just undies or even naked and give them all the juice and water they want. This means they are more likely to have some pee come out while they are sitting on their chair or running around playing. So, those first couple of days, I stay really close to them, feed them drinks, and have them sit on the potty ever 20 minutes. Usually, with all they are drinking, they will actually pee int he potty. Then I do a big victory dance and give them m&ms. Everytime they put either pee or poo in the potty, they get m&ms and a mommy victory dance. Poo earns them even more m&ms and more mommy praise and songs. After a few days of that, I dress them in their undies and pants. they will have a few accidents and then I leave their sopping wet clothes on them for about 5-10 minutes before I change them. That wet feeling is so uncomfortable that they try harder to pee in the potty so as to avoid that feeling. I diaper them at night for as long as they need it. Night time training usually doesn't happen til much later. I don't use pull-ups.
Hope that helps!
