    just use the old net use commmand 

    PS>net use z: \\server\share Fooboo /user:domain\user
PS>Get-PSDrive -Name Z

Name           Used (GB)     Free (GB) Provider      Root                                CurrentLoc
                                                                                              ation
----           ---------     --------- --------      ----                                ----------
Z                 150,36         49,64 FileSystem    Z:\

    Or convert you plain text password to secure-string :

    PS>$pass="FooBoo"|ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
PS>$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential('user@domain',$pass)
PS>New-PSDrive -name j -Root \\server\share -Credential $cred -PSProvider filesystem

Name           Used (GB)     Free (GB) Provider      Root
----           ---------     --------- --------      ----
j                                      FileSystem    \\server\share
