Redis NOAUTH error - despite disabling auth in my redis.conf file

I am seeing the following error when running my application locally against a local Redis instance. 

ReplyError: Ready check failed: NOAUTH Authentication required.
            at JavascriptReplyParser.Parser.returnError (/Users/Olegzandr/WebstormProjects/node_redis/index.js:193:31)
            at JavascriptReplyParser.run (/Users/Olegzandr/WebstormProjects/node_redis/node_modules/redis-parser/lib/javascript.js:135:18)
            at JavascriptReplyParser.execute (/Users/Olegzandr/WebstormProjects/node_redis/node_modules/redis-parser/lib/javascript.js:112:10)
            at Socket.<anonymous> (/Users/Olegzandr/WebstormProjects/node_redis/index.js:269:27)
            at emitOne (events.js:77:13)
            at Socket.emit (events.js:169:7)
            at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:146:16)

I believe I have disabled authentication by using these lines in the configuration file:

# By default protected mode is enabled. You should disable it only if
# you are sure you want clients from other hosts to connect to Redis
# even if no authentication is configured, nor a specific set of interfaces
# are explicitly listed using the "bind" directive.
protected-mode no  #is this correct?

and there is no password required:

# Require clients to issue AUTH <PASSWORD> before processing any other
# commands.  This might be useful in environments in which you do not trust
# others with access to the host running redis-server.
#
# This should stay commented out for backward compatibility and because most
# people do not need auth (e.g. they run their own servers).
#
# Warning: since Redis is pretty fast an outside user can try up to
# 150k passwords per second against a good box. This means that you should
# use a very strong password otherwise it will be very easy to break.
#
# requirepass foobared

any idea what could be wrong?

On redis-cli, AUTH with the correct password (if your have set password by mistake). Then set the requirepass to empty. This will resolve the issue.

AUTH <old-password>
CONFIG SET REQUIREPASS ""

Note : This works only if you know the password (means you have set the password to any of the redis instances). If not, the above solution of restarting redis should work.

If anybody runs CONFIG SET REQUIREPASS [PWD] in a running redis instance then redis will change its auth config despite conf file. After that, even already connected clients has to set AUTH or they will recieve NOAUTH Authentication required.

Try to restart redis and beware for harmful lamers!
