If I have Cryptolith Rite on the field, can I tap face-down creatures for mana?
You sure can. Being face-down doesn't stop a creature from gaining abilities. If someone tells you that a face-down creature has no abilities, what they mean is that it has no "printed" text of its own, that's all. It can have abilities thanks to effects.
