Yes,

Install a fresh copy of the wallet on a different device and during installation use the option to recover a wallet from the private key (so it doesn't generate a new one)

Don't use the existing device in case something goes wrong and makes things worse.

A more specific answer isn't possible without knowing exactly what wallet you are using.
