Mountain Lion has wiped iLife

Question

As title says Mountainlion has wiped ILife original disks no longer installl on new Os have even borrowed my cousins isks to rule out any problem with the disk itself. I have contacted app support because i feel it's an app issue and so should be resolved by them I was given links to suppoer coverage which my Imac 2008 no longer has, nor requires. iLife was part of what we paid for , someone suggested I would have to repurchase the products from the App store.
As it was a preinstalled bundled software and included on Diska alone with the OS , I should not have to do this, Any help would be much appreciated

Here is perhaps the solution :

follow the "Ratatapa's" instructions.
1/ boot on Recovery part (command R)
2/ find "terminal" in disk utilities
and write "resetpassword" for root. Enter a new password for the root user.
3/ reboot as root user (or when your are login, log out and typing to open a other user "root")
in the "system pref" panel, open "users and groups" and then create new user with the same name, same password.. normally it must be asking you about "You are already an account with the same name" say yes. And it's done.
4/ Log out. re-log as the normal user. desactivated the root user.
