This appears to be more than just a simple OpenOffice.org problem. First, if you are logged on as an user with administrative rights, using the sudo program should accept a password. It appears that your system may be corrupt and your hard drive maybe experiencing problems. I highly recommend taking your system to someone to get it serviced and have the hard drive checked. Second, If the X11 icon is in the dock this does not mean that the X11 program is installed. Is this program in the Applications -> Utilities folder? If it is, click on the icon. Does anything happen? Can you open a terminal session, expand it to full screen width and then type in the following command: ps -aux You should see two lines similar to the following: bubba 20047 0.0 0.1 27728 792 ?? S 8:05PM 0:00.01 /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 bubba 20056 0.0 1.0 353844 10700 ?? S 8:05PM 0:25.33 /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 -nolisten tcp :0 These signify that the X11 application is running and waiting for a program to request its services. If you do not see these two lines, X11 needs to be reinstalled and this requires the usage of the sudo command like so: sudo rm /Library/Receipts/X11user.pkg but you cannot enter a password in order to use this program. Again, this may require you to take your Mac to an Apple service center, or if you have Mac Gurus at your local Apple store they may be able to fix this problem. Good luck and hopefully you will be able to get this situation resolved.
