    Yes its possible. To re-generate your robots.txt, you can sue Google webmaster tools. It helps you to allow/disallow any part of your website to be indexed and then upload it to your server. If you tell us the link of your robots.txt file, it can be checked to see if it prevents indexing your pages.

    Robots.txt file are usually created to control crawling spiders of different search engines. So it is possible to block spiders. Check your robot file and find out the disallow areas/bots and fix it.
