Possible to decrypt DMK with SMK after database restore?

Hello all,

       Is it possible to decrypt the master key or decrypt the symmetric keys the master key is used to encrypt without knowing the master key password?  I have a backup of the database itself and a SMK backup from the database.  The master key in the backed up database is encrypted by the SMK.

Thanks!
