Correct me if I am wrong but when you enable AAA and configure login
authentication and authorization exec there may be a hidden command
configured "aaa authorization console" and there is no method configured for
the default authorization so you are not getting a login prompt.
Can you configure aaa authentication login default local none / aaa
authorization exec default local none and then configure local username
password and see if you get access?
Otherwise there is always password-recovery to ignore the configuration and
make changes to the startup-config.
