What do you mean by wallet number? Do you mean your wallet address? And by password, do you mean your private key, or the password to decrypt your private key?– user9402Commented Jul 25, 2017 at 13:05

In a few words no. To create a transaction sending your funds to someone else you have to cryptographically sign the transaction data with your private key, which is inside the JSON wallet file encrypted with your password.

Ok, got it. Am I right that if I have private key I can create transaction (as I remember called raw tranaction) and the sign it? So finally I do not need to JSON wallet? Commented Jul 25, 2017 at 21:17

Yes, if you have the private key you can sign transaction and do not need the json file. The wallet file is only a security measure to not store the private key uncrypted on disk.– Ismael ♦Commented Jul 25, 2017 at 21:51
