Which manufacturer made the keyless deadbolt lock? Make sure that the batteries are good in the unit.
I have an older Weiser Powerbolt deadbolt lock that is programmed by taking off the cover on the inside of the door. This model has handheld remotes and the keypad. Inside there are three yellow buttons. Two match the cover's lock and unlock buttons. Press and hold the third button (in the center of the set of buttons). Then enter program in the code within a few seconds and press the enter button to set the code. If the unit beeps again, the code is set. If the unit doesn't beep, retry from the press and hold the Program button step.
Another model of the Weiser Powerbolt lock has the Program button either on the top left or lower right hand side of the board (depending on the way the door opens) under the cover. Press the Program button once and then enter the 4-8 digit code. Press the Lock button to set the code. If you hear a long beep, the code was accepted; otherwise try to program your code again.
Kwikset Powerbolt locks are programmed the same way as the second Weiser Powerbolt described above.
Kwikset SmartCode locks have their Program button in the center of the bottom of the control board. Otherwise the programming is the same as that given above for the second version of Weiser Powerbolt locks.
MiLocks have three buttons in a horizontal line. The left-most button is the Set button. Press this then enter the code followed by the Unlock button. The code must be entered within 5 seconds of pressing set.
Baldwin Hardware's Boulder series of keyless entry deadbolts are programmed just like the Kwikset SmartCode units.
I don't know of any videos. Most manufacturers do have PDF files with the programming instructions.
I hope this helps. Please add more information about your deadbolt for extra assistance.

Notice that the above is a .PDF file type. That means that you need to have Adobe Reader or similar installed on your computer to view it. So if you are unable to view the file, download (for free) and install Adobe Reader first. You can get it here:

Good luck--and please provide feedback if this helps!
The
deadbolt may very free inside the deadbolt hole... This system is low
torque and a over torque clutch may slip if the dead bolt it's not
completely free inside the deadbolt hole... Also, if you try to open the
door before to unlock it, you may block the deadbolt... take care to
unlock the door before open it. to be sure that the dead lock is ok, you
can turn the manual knob and be sure is turning very very easily.
Also are you no that POWERBOLT is a 3 codes memory? go to that link to see more info about that : http://www.fixya.com/support/t8006865-not_overwrite_old_codes_just_keeps
Locate the small round reset button near the left side of the circuit board (Red or Black).
To program, press the reset button once, then enter your 4-8
digit code on the exterior keypad, then immediately press the middle
lock button on the exterior keypad. You will hear a beep. This signals
that your code has been accepted.
To enter a second code, follow the same procedures as in step
3, but this time press the reset button twice then enter your code.
