         Appeal No. 2006-0933                                                       
         Application No. 09/740,400                                                 
              Turning to a consideration of the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.                
         § 103(a) rejection of dependent claims 15-19, 34-38, and 53-57             
         based on separate combinations of He with Redpath and                      
         Prafullchandra, we do not sustain this rejection as well.  The             
         Redpath and Prafullchandra references have been added to He by the         
         Examiner to address, respectively, the graphical user interface and        
         target password change policy features set forth in the rejected           
         dependent claims.  We find nothing, however, in the disclosures            
         Redpath or Prafullchandra which would overcome the innate                  
         deficiencies of He discussed supra.                                        
















                                         7
