Is it the original stereo? if it is, maybe you disconnected the battery, replaced fuses or messed with the radio wiring in such a way that power supply was interrupted for a moment. Try dialing in the safety code to make it work again (it is usually in the stereo manual). If it's not the original stereo, then you have to check the power supply wires to make sure they are supplying power to the stereo. Check both of them; the one that is alive at all times, so the time and station memories are kept in the radio, and the one that supplies power when the ignition key is turned to the acc (accesory) position. Use a power tester for this. The bad news is that you have to pull the stereo out of the dashboard to check the connections and wires.
