So you booted on the USB disk and re-run ‘guix system init’, is that
correct?

Did you reformat the root partition before doing that?

Could you try removing the /etc/.pwd.lock file on that partition?  (You
can do that on a system booted from the USB stick, and then reboot in
the installed system.)
