Batch to remove security

I have a series of PDF files with the same security password that I know. I want to open the security to change some settings, namely headers and footers. Instead of opening the documents one by one, can I use a batch job to do it? How?

You can't do this with the options built into Acrobat, you'd need to write a custom plug-in.

Thank you so much for answering me. But how can I write a custom plug-in to do that? Is there any help anywhere?
