I'm good, thank you for asking!

You can take a look at this and this but please be forewarned that anything you do to the registry or even tinker under the hood, on Windows 10 can have consequences that can make the OS go belly up(read reinstalling the OS from scratch, after a lot of hair tugging).

Thank you Lutfij the registry method worked

i made a reg file to disable ease of access button
this is the link to the reg file i made

On a side note, the good old replace-accessibility-with-cmd to change the password is usable however simply removing that button won't make your system any safer. There are programs to do that change offline, or even pull the password from the device, with the same level of time and accessibility required. They'd just have to boot your PC with a stick (not anything special, just an Ubuntu live stick) and copy off the SAM database to try cracking it later on. So, don't trust your Windows screen lock and either carry important stuff with you and/or use an extra layer of encryption such as veracrypt to keep things safe.

i am using an extra layer of encryption but still i would much rather not have it
