bug#35996: User account password got locked when booting old generation

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

I got a locked /etc/shadow again now despite Ludovic’s patches (which

locked.

Note that I get a message like “/dev/mapper/Guix: recovering journal”
when booting (I did not pay attention to that before).  I shut down
the unbootable generation with Ctrl+Alt+Del.  When I normally shut
down with Ctrl+Alt+Del I get no such message.

The unbootable generation was deliberately made unbootable like this:
