Any 2 x 2 symmetric matrix A can be written in the form
[a b]
[b c] for some real numbers a,b,c.
Since we want A^2 = 0, this yields
[a b][a b]...[a^2+b^2..b(a+c)]....[0 0]
[b c][b c].=.[b(a+c)...b^2+c^2]=[0 0].
Equating like entries,
a^2 + b^2 = 0
b(a+c) = 0
b^2 + c^2 = 0.
The first and last equations imply that a = b = c = 0 (assuming that a,b,c are real numbers).
Hence, the zero matrix is the only such matrix.

Note: If the entries are allowed to be complex numbers, then there are more solutions.
Starting with a^2 + b^2 = 0, b(a+c) = 0, and b^2 + c^2 = 0:
The second equation implies that b = 0 or c = -a.
(i) If b = 0, then the first equation yields a = 0. In turn, the third equation yields c = 0. Hence, A is the zero matrix.
(ii) If c = -a, then we have a^2 + b^2 = 0 ==> b = ±ai.
Hence, A is of the form
[a...±ai]
[±ai..-a] for some complex number a.
