Hi,

(- help-guix.)

In the VM the password for users other that root is uninitialized.  So
you must first log in as =E2=80=98root=E2=80=99, for instance on a tty, run=
 =E2=80=9Cpasswd
joshua=E2=80=9D, and only after that will you be able to log in.

Could you check if that helps?

Thanks in advance!
