MVC 4 : Controller not found says WindsorControllerFactory

I have this class WindsorControllerFactory which inherits from DefaultControllerFactory

public class WindsorControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
    {
        private readonly IKernel _container;

        public WindsorControllerFactory(IKernel container)
        {
            _container = container;
        }

        protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, System.Type controllerType)
        {
            if(controllerType == null)
            {
                throw new HttpException(404, "Controller not found.");
            }
            return _container.Resolve(controllerType) as IController;//exception here no controller found
        }
    }

in my account controller I have Login function [Authorize]

    public class AccountController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Account/Login

        [AllowAnonymous]
        public ActionResult Login()
        {

            return View();

        }

        //
        // POST: /Account/Login

        [HttpPost]
        [AllowAnonymous]
//        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model)
        {
            if(Membership.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.Password))
            {
                FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, model.RememberMe);

                RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
            }

            // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
            ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect.");
            return View(model);
        }
    }

when I run the application, http://localhost:58383/Account/Login I get error in that WindsorControllerFactory class, says controller not found. Any idea why is that happening?

You should register components first to Windsor Container.

You need to tell to the mvc framework to use your windsor factory instead of the default one.

As per windsor documentation sample mentioned by Siva, I strongly suggest you to override ReleaseController as well...

You also need to register the controllers into the container.

I assume you set up properly the routing... that's nothing to do with windsor.
