You need to describe better what you're trying to do with an iron atom, 
and also which force field, for us to suggest a solution. This is not a 
help service for PRODRG, by the way, although some users will have some 
expertise with it. I can only suggest reading whatever documentation it 
provides.

Whether you want a neutral system depends what physical model you want 
to use. A physical Na+ ion will have +1e charge. I'll leave it to you to 
work out how many Na+ you need to neutralise -6e :-) (don't worry about 
the tiny fraction).

Most likely, you aren't giving the command you think you are :-)
