There are many tools that can manipulate PDFs, including:

PDF Toolkit (pdftk)
QPDF
xpdf-utils
Evince

NOTE: The PDF Toolkit (pdftk) works for me, so instructions below are using this.

Install the PDF Toolkit (pdftk)

sudo apt install pdftk

Remove the password from the PDF

pdftk secured.pdf input_pw password output unsecured.pdf
