Can't Kill Process

We unfortunately found out that our databases were not being backed up for 9
5
days on one of our servers because the backup job got "stuck" on one of the
databases. I don't know why. I stopped the job but now the backups will not
work because the backup job from May is still "in process" on that one
database.
I tried killing the process but it won't work because there is "a rollback
in process". I rebooted the server but that did not help.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can kill this process on this one
database?
Thanks,
David McCarterFYI -
A rollback takes AT LEAST the same amount of time as it did to perform
whatever operations a transaction was doing. So, if a process has been
running for 1 hour and you decide to roll it back, then it would take at
least another hour to undo whatever it had already done.

the process was running before someone noticed it.
