It would be a very bad design if RAIDar could reset the raid array by simply sending an unsolicited packet to a NAS that wasn't waiting for a response (e.g., wasn't already in the middle of a factory reset procedure). That would make the NAS incredibly vulnerable to attack. I don't think that is plausible.
If you didn't have physical access to the NAS (or didn't touch it), and were not given its password, I don't see any way you could have done this.
