you write a hook for user login form alter, then you can set the #description to null. you need something like this:

function YOURMODULE_user_login_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
    $form['name']['#description'] = '';
}

Is there any common way to remove all the descriptions globally instead of mentioning in singular.

if you want to do it globally then consider doing it with css (display: none), otherwise i dont think you can do it with any hook.

I have never tested it, but in theory, you should be able to expand on the code example above, to work on all forms, and then overwrite the description. Whether or not that's a good idea, is a completely different matter.

You could also try using Tipsy which will hide all descriptions and then display them on mouseover. Seems like a much better idea than hiding them completely.
