Hello,

After I booted to a Guix install USB, chrooted as described on the
Arch wiki and started a Guix daemon, I could reconfigure as before.
There was no need to fiddle with grub-install.
After multiple reconfigures, it happened again, my /etc/shadow has !
again in the password field. My recently changed root password became
empty as well, like 35902. I did not even run sudo concurrently. The
password just got locked.
This is the same thing that happened to me, and there is another report, regarding passwords being reset. I believe we should merge these two bugs. I am on a mobile with no convinient way to look up the issue number.
The /etc from the “populating from /gnu/store/*-etc” messages has no
significant differences either.

AccountsService obviously can change passwords. No bug here. Sorry.
I was confused.

Find attached two patches that fix GNOME password changing. Both are
required.

On my machine it turned out that the hdd is faulty, so this might be a hardware error, I will get a replacement drive tomorrow, and check if the problem still persist.
