So you booted on the USB disk and re-run =E2=80=98guix system init=E2=80=99=
, 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.)
