Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use

There are times where you may need to restore a database, but receive the error "Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use".  This is usually due to a process using the database.  There are a number of ways to work around this occurance.  If you have a complete backup which you are trying to use, I have found the following to work best:

USE Master 
ALTER DATABASE dbname
SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
RESTORE DATABASE dbname
FROM DISK = 'C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL/Backup/dbbackupfile.bak'
WITH REPLACE

After the restore completes successfully, you can ensure multi-user mode is reenabled by executing the following query:

ALTER DATABASE dbname SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO

Hope someone finds this helpful.
