To get keyless entry to work, first, ensure your key fob battery isn't dead and that you're within range of your vehicle. If it's not a battery issue, try re-syncing the key fob with your vehicle, a process that usually involves holding down a button on the fob while turning the car on and off a specific number of times (refer to your vehicle's manual for exact instructions). If problems persist, consult the vehicle's manual or contact a professional, as there may be an issue with the vehicle's receiver or the key fob itself.
