How2 REMOVE the Master Password ?
Master password looks good but how to disable / remove it ?

What do you mean?
The Master Password is the backup password for FileVault. Why would you want to remove it? You don't necessarily need to set one, but if you activate FileVault and forget your login password, the MasterPassword is the only way to access the data encrypted by FileVault.
Figure it makes more sense in a network environment where a user (employee) forgets his/her password and needs the admin (IT guy) to reset it.
