It is possible with very old and insecure encryption methods like WEP that no one uses anymore to crack with a fair number of encrypted packets. It is also possible to crack WPA and WPA2 if the password chosen is short via the EAPOL packets using a dictionary attack. That involves just guessing lots of keys, and takes a long time for unusual long keys. There are various tools that can help with that, like aircrack-ng
