Simply set the cancel lock in your version controlled ~/.emacs or
~/.gnus.el as described in the manual:

,----[ (info "(message)Canceling News") ]
| If you want to manage a password yourself, you can put something
| like the following in your `~/.gnus.el' file:
| 
|      (setq canlock-password "geheimnis"
|            canlock-password-for-verify canlock-password)
`----

Bye, Reiner.
