Hmmm... that used to work. What PDF is it?
Is there a good reason why they've locked it? If it's something you have to pay for to unlock, then perhaps I shouldn't be trying to help you. 😉

Preview opens password-protected PDFs just fine if you have the password. The OP wants to open a password-protected PDF without the password. Preview won't do that, but that is the way password-protection works.

Even if you had Acrobat Pro - the file would still be password protected.
You can't print it because the creator of the file does not want people printing it. The real answer is -- if you need to print it, contact the creator of the file and ask for the password, or for a non-protected version.
Of course, you can print anything you can see on the Mac screen in low-res simply by doing a screen capture and printing that...
