                Appeal No. 2006-2103                                                                                               
                Application No. 09/780,817                                                                                         

                Schmeidler and Berger, we do not sustain this rejection as well.  The Schmeidler and Berger                        
                references have been added to Fisher 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 of Schmeidler or Berger, taken                               
                individually or collectively, which would overcome the innate deficiencies of Fisher                               
                discussed supra.                                                                                                   
                        In summary, we have not sustained either of the Examiner’s rejections of the claims                        
                on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-27 is reversed.                             
                                                       REVERSED
