# Blade sometimes says unauthorized when trying to access it using Vuzix View

This is a result of attempting to access the Blade via and/[Vuzix View](https://www.vuzix.com/pages/vuzix-view-software) prior to authorizing the machine.

- Make sure ADB Debugging is turned on. Upon receiving the prompt to allow debugging via the connected device, click OK.
- If a prompt to authorize did not pop-up unplug and replug the USB.
- If that did not trigger the prompt, try multiple ports and multiple cables.
- If the prompt still is not present, try restarting the Blade and restarting the machine.
