This is not possible to disable. Its likely a feature that is optional, in that, you don't have to actually use it. – Ramhound Sep 18 '12 at 11:42
@Ramhound Ok thanks for the information. It's more like kids on school will try to click it .. So I was looking a way to disable it – JochemTheSchoolKid Sep 18 '12 at 16:34

I think what you mean is the password hint. Go to System Preferences - User Accounts - Your Account - Change Password. There are two fields for your password and one for the password hint. Could it be that you entered your password there, in the hint field?
