There are many hacks for it, but this is legit commercial software which 
will open password-protected PDFs w/o an issue:

http://elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html

[standard edition only gives access to password-protected features like 
copy/print/etc; the $99 version allows one to open a PDF that can't be 
opened w/o a password]. 

There are also websites where one can upload a password-protected PDF, and 
get back a non-password protected copy. 

PDF security is an illusion, unfortunately.
