It takes forever to get an avocado to grow roots in water! I bury my kitchen scraps in my raised beds all winter and every summer I find an avocado tree growing there! I have found it is much easier to get a sprout if you plant the seed in a flower pot that already has a plant growing in it and continue caring for the plant you already have so as not to overwater or do anything special to get the avocado to sprout. You can repot it in its own pot when it gets several inches tall (it may still have the seed ball attached so be careful to not injure it). :) Enjoy your tree!!!
