Simple answer no.

If you have root access reset the password

SET PASSWORD FOR '<username>'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('<cleartext password>');
SET PASSWORD FOR '<username>'@'%' = PASSWORD('<cleartext password>');

If you are looking to change the root and you do not have a user with permission, then restart with --skip-grant-tables enabled and then log in to set password.
