SQL Server mirrored database is stuck in recovery mode I have a database that is stuck in recovery mode for few days already. There are multiple threads about this, but the solutions there don't work for me.
Here is what I tried already:
RESTORE DATABASE [DBNAME] WITH RECOVERY 
Error: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use.

ALTER DATABASE [DBNAME] SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
Error: ALTER DATABASE failed because a lock could not be placed on database 'DBNAME'  
I get the same error when trying to set the db to SINGLE_USER

exec sp_who2 --&gt; nothing that contains my database, so nothing that I can kill  
(Or I need to look for something else ??)

I can't just stop the SQL-service, because it contains too many databases that can't go down.
Who knows what I can do to get the database out of recovery mode? At both the primary and mirror location is the database state 'In recovery'.
UPDATE
I found a process in sp_who2 with command DB STARTUP.
At sys.dm_tran_locks, I see this session has a resource_database_id for the database that is in recovery, so this keeps the database locked. Anyone knows how to fix this without stopping SQL Server?
Restart the db mirroring end point:

--To stop 
ALTER ENDPOINT&lt;Endpoint Name&gt; STATE=STOPPED

--To start
ALTER ENDPOINT&lt;Endpoint Name&gt; STATE=STARTED


TECH note: if there are multiple databases, not just the one in error, then stopping and starting the enpoint affects all the databases on that endpoint. This can cause problems on a production system like SharePoint. To fix, go the other mirrored database server and enter the same commands:
 ALTER ENDPOINT  STATE=STOPPED
 ALTER ENDPOINT  STATE=STARTED

How to find the name of the end point? 
select * from sys.endpoints  &lt;- works for SQL 2012
The name will be of " type=4 " for mirroring.
