Author Restore Error

I have a database in SQL 2000.
When I try to restore the database by enterprise manager I encounter this
error:

Microsoft SQL-DMO(ODBC SQLState: 42000)
Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use,
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Any help please?

Thanks.

Check for connections on database you're restoring. If there are any, see if
you should disconnect them (kill process) or something similar.
