Make sure the account you use in the connection string has sufficient privileges for the RESTORE command. If the database does not exist, the user needs CREATE DATABASE privileges. If the database already exists, the user has to be a member of the sysadmin or dbcreator server roles, or be the owner (dbo) of the database.
