I'm trying to get some content from restored sql server SharePoint db

So in Central Admin I choose;

Unattached Content Database Data Recovery

I feel in my database name and sql server instance and click Browse Content and next.

Then I should choose the Site collection from my database content but the only site collection I see is the one of the Central Admin.

How can I choose the Site Collection included in my unattached content database?

EDIT: I've tried backing up a library with Unattached Content Database Data Recovery but I get the following error:
