No, only if the news server is prompting for one. A new server that is
set up to have both public and private groups don't usually prompt for
password. You have to provide it Yourself spontaneously. I know of no
way to make mozilla to do that currently :-( For more details, se:

That's a show stopper for me, because I have to read such newsgroups at
work.
