Indeed, libpoppler (the PDF engine behind Evince) supports password protected (encrypted) PDFs, but it does not support PDFs encrypted using the AES algorithm (Acrobat 7 or later) and some others yet. So it manages to open some, but not all. See Ubuntu bug https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/3038 xpdf on the other hand has it's own PDF engine, so it may do what Evince doesn't do yet.
