Database in recovery

Hi,
I'm not that familiar with SQL Server, just mainly use it for
development. Anyway I was modifying some keys in some tables last
night. Everything went fine and I continued to use the database.
When i woke this morning and turned on the computer, my database
was in recovery. I am unable to do anything to get it back.
I have tried a few things to alter the database, (ie. set offline, set
single user) but I get an error saying
"Msg 5011, Level 14, State 7, Line 1
User does not have permission to alter database 'trace05e' or the
database does not exist.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed."
when I do an sp_who I get
spid ecid status loginame
hostname
blk dbname
cmd request_id

I can't find any commands to kill the last three processes.
I need to know two things.
1) How can I find out why my database went into recovery mode?
2) How can I get my database back into normal mode?
Thanks a million in advance
JDI managed to kill some processes and now I have two left, the one I am
using and one more, which is needed as a transport.
i still cannot execute this statment
RESTORE DATABASE trace05e
WITH RECOVERY
I get
Msg 3101, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.|||Hi
I can only guess. When you start SQL Server it does perfom the opeartion (in
every databases on the server) 'recovering' by using CHECKPOINT command that
means that all transactions are resided in the cache should be REDO/UNDO
depends on its status.

e. Perhaps it is only a
refresh problem in EM/SSMS?

>|||Hi Uri,
Sorry for my ignorance but what does that mean. Is there a way I
can rollback the logs to a certain point in time?
Is there any way outside of sql server that I can gain access to
the stored procedures inside in the mdf file?
Thanks

still unable to get the database to work.
I have now resorted to removing the instance and re-installing it and
trying to get back an older database. I can't run any commands like
dbcc checkdb even on master, there seems to be invisible connections
all over the place.sql
