"System.Security.SecureString".
At line:1 char:35

Can't use plain text for the password parameter. Just convert it first to secure string, then run the cmdlet:

$i = ConvertTo-SecureString "Blc004" -AsPlainText -Force
New-LocalUser -Name blc -Password $i -AccountNeverExpires -FullName Blc -PasswordNeverExpires
