What do you mean by "factory reset"? What exactly did you do? Did you erase the drive and reinstall the system? Or did you restart the Mac?
iphoto is not part of the system software. You have to reinstall it the same way you originally installed it, or restore it from the backup you made before you reinstalled the system.
Your iPhoto library is by default in your Pictures folder. If it is missing there, restore the library from the last backup of your mac that you made.
See this on how to restore from Time Machine: iPhoto '11: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 (9.2 or later) and OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later)

Actually I restart my whole mac and unfortunately it come up with no iPhoto library.
Did you erase the drive?
I restart my mac coz i wanted to delete al the files on it and when I installing the new drive I chose macontish HD after istallation it come up with no iPhoto library and now whenever I save photos on my mac It all goes directly to "PREVIEW" .
So you deleted all the files and don't have a back up? What did you expect to happen?

I am still not quite sure what you did, but it does sound like you erased the drive ("coz i wanted to delete al the files on it") and reinstalled the system on your MacintoshHD.
Then there is no iPhoto installed. Do you have a backup?
If you bought iPhoto from the AppStore or it came preinstalled on your Mac you may find an iPhoto Installer at the App Store in your Purchases History (the fourth tab at the AppStore, not on the Updates or Featured tab). Install iPhoto from there.
iPhoto icon or software was gone
