Enable SQL Server Broker taking too long

Question

I have a Microsoft SQL server 2005 and I tried to enable Broker for my database with those T-SQL:

 SELECT name, is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases 
 -- checking its status 0 in my case
 ALTER DATABASE myDatabase SET ENABLE_BROKER

The Alter Database takes long time to process. It is now over half hour and it is still running. Not sure if it is waiting for something else or I have to clean up anything first, such as delete all the messages, contract, queue and services under service broker?
