Generally no, uBO does not serve as parental controls extension and doesn't support password protection.
However, you can make uBO setup bit more strict by administrative policies: Wiki: Deploying uBlock Origin: configuration
Most of related issues/discussions/feature requests to implement such functionality have been declined over years, with a headline message: "that it should be handled by separate dedicated tools":

- (09.2018) Password-protect changes to My Rules, etc.
- (12.2018) how to restrict changing config?
- (06.2020) Ask authentication before enabling allow temporarirly.
- (01.2021) Is it possible to add some kind of password protection?
- (04.2023) Can hide blocking page
- (06.2024) Proceed button should not be allowed
