Mobile Adobe Digital Editions does not support passworded PDFs. The PocketPro also has xpdf for PDFs, but I doubt it supports passwords (on the Pocket Pro).

With most passworded PDFs it is very easy to produce a password-free version. However, "credentials" does not sound like a standard passworded PDF. There are quite a few 3rd party add-ons for DRM in PDFs, which may be hard to crack.

If this is a standard PDF password, then PdfCrypt is one free Windows program to remove the encryption given the password.

If printing is allowed, you can print to a virtual PDF printer.

EDIT: See How to read the encrypted PDF file, for xpdf only.
