if you want to change the label, use this.

$this->Form->input('code', array('label' => 'LabelName'));

if you want to remove the label you need to use:

   <?php echo $this->Form->input('code', array('label' => false)); ?>

For a full control of the label of an input, the best way is to use it like this:

   <?php echo $this->Form->input('code',array('label'=>array('text'=>'This is my label','class'=>' this is the class of my label'))); ?>

$this->Form->input('code', array('label' => false));

Or, if you wanted to change the label to something else of your choosing:

$this->Form->input('code', array('label' => 'something else'));
