A connection could not be established...Cannot open user default database...

Hello,
I'm running SQL7 on a Win2K server. I was in the midst of
restoring a database when I lost connectivity to the
network and the job failed.
Now if I try to view the database within Enterprise
Manager, I get the following error:
---
A connection could not be established to <servername>.
Cannot open user default database '<ID>. Using master
database instead. Please varify SQL Server is running and
check your SQL Server registration properties (by right-
clicking on the <servername> node) and try again.
---
I checked and SQL is running and the registration
properties are correct.
Any help would be appreciated.Seems like the database is "lost", as you terminated the restore, and the
logins that your EM registration login is using has that database as the
default database. I suggest you login using ISQL.EXE and change default
database using sp_defaultdb.
