I have ran the same wallet on several computers and had similar problems.
I exactly followed the instruction, but ended up failing at syncing.
I succeeded by copying the exact files from my other rig which was successfully syncing.
But above option is not available for many new BTCDers.
I suggest dev making installer which will set up syncing conf file.
The single biggest problem that cause online retailers to lose money is simple failures during check out.
I think we might lose many new BTCDers due to frustrations while syncing their wallets.
I know many people help newcomers setting up, but it would be nicer if there's a simpler way.
The upcoming BitcoinDark wallet will automatically create a BitcoinDark.conf file with some known peers and a strong random password.

Will users still be able to manually create their own passwords with the new wallet?

Sure. What it currently does is check if BitcoinDark.conf exists or not. If it doesn't, it creates a new one with a few fields such as addnode, rpcuser and password, etc. and fill them in.
To create your own password, just change the rpcpassword field to whatever you like.

Ok so what you guys are saying is basically.... Deal with it and wait for new wallet? I cannot get access to my coins ?
