The =E2=80=98passwd=E2=80=99 command was added quite recently to the instal=
lation image
(it=E2=80=99ll be in the forthcoming release):

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=3D903ae630a0ae0df9f=
abd5ebab7d44577d6e7d0fc

In the meantime, you=E2=80=99ll have to use one of the workarounds people
suggested.

Thanks for your report,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
