Once you install iDRAC Tools you can run mentioned command on command prompt. You need to login as Administrator user to run the command.
You can refer below link on different options on installing operating system on PowerEdge server

You can login to iDRAC GUI and go to System tab to find majority of the information related to CPU, Memory, LCD (Front panel), Network devices etc. For information related to storage controller and hard disk you can check under Storage tab.

If you have a supported operating system you can install iDRAC Tools and run below command to reset the root password. Please let me know what operating system you have so that I can give the link for iDRAC Tools
racadm set idrac.users.2.password
You can also reboot the server and go to BIOS by pressing F2 when prompted during boot. In BIOS under iDRAC Settings page you will get an option to reset iDRAC password
