My vote is for BOTH the following:
1. More pressure on the reed from the lower lip to squeeze the reed a little more toward the mouthpiece.
If you are a beginner (with iron lip still unformed), then much of that pressure may have to come from the low teeth beneath the lip. Some writers here, possibly no longer aware that they themselves use some tooth support, will call that "biting", and castigate you (and I) severely for it.
2. Quite a lot more pressure in your blowing. Blow harder.
1 without 2 = no sound.
2 without 1 = squeak (if there is too much mouthpiece in the mouth, or highly raucous sound.
