No need to reload just commit the changes from running to startup and you should be good.

You do not need to reboot or reload the device for this config.

as per your message you removed and working properly, in case  not =-  my suggestion here :

1. Create a Local account.

2. Remove or change the Key Radius and test Local account work correctly

3. once this tested remove AAA config

 write the config and test again local Login.
