Or you can disable the label on input and build the label yourself:
Disables the wrapping div and the label from showing
<?php echo $form->input('password', array('maxLength' => '20', 'div'
=> false, 'label' => false)); ?>
Build the label manually
<?php echo $form->label('password', __('password', true), array
('class' => 'label')); ?>
