How about this
insert an ERT \hspace*{5cm}
select the inserted ERT
click Layout -> Character... -> Misc:
select Underbar
click OK.
you could replace the ERT with Protected Blanks as well if you prefer.
if you just want a line that goes all the way across the page, say under the
text for a signature, you could put the text on a line and then do
click Layout -> Paragraph...
select the Line radio button in the Below pane.
one may look better than the other for your purpose.
