You also should enter - no login

But then he will be asked for password to go to exec mode.
If you want to be login without asking for any password:
line vty 0 4
  no login
  privilege level 15

But it's a security risk.

How can I also take away the password and enable password in Cisco and console access ?

The reason I want to remove the password because we have replaced the old switches with new one. Hence, I want to remove the password stored in it such in case we need to use it again few years later and we forget the original password.

Still want to keep the existing configuration on the switch to ensure that we have a configuration in it.

You can put passwords on paper and stick it on switch.

You can always do password recovery procedure from ROMMON, so I would not waste too much time with this.
I would leave console access without password and that's all.
