+This guide assumes you associated your SSH Key Pair with the instance
+when it was created, and that you are connected to the [Anvil VPN]({{< relref "connecting_to_the_anvil_vpn" >}}).
+{{% /notice %}}
+
+The MySQL image HCC provides is a CentOS 7 image with MySQL (MariaDB) installed
+and configured to allow remote access for a MySQL user named `root`.
+Access to MySQL is provided via this `root` user and a random password. When
+the instance is created, the password is set randomly using your
+SSH Key Pair.  This password can be retrieved via the Dashboard web
+interface, and is then used to login to MySQL.
+
+{{% notice info %}}
+The `root` user is for connecting to MySQL only.  Access via SSH is the same
+as other CentOS-based images, using the `centos` user and SSH keys. Refer to
+the instructions for [Windows]({{< relref "connecting_to_linux_instances_from_windows" >}})
+or [Mac]({{< relref "connecting_to_linux_instances_from_mac" >}}) as needed.
+{{% /notice %}}
+
+This guide assumes you have already created an instance using the `MySQL Server` image.
+In order to access the database, two additional steps are required.  A
+_Security Group_ must be created in OpenStack to allow access to the MySQL port,
+and the randomly generated password must be recovered.
+
+### Create and attach a security group
+
+Log into the Anvil web dashboard at [anvil.unl.edu](https://anvil.unl.edu) using
+your HCC credentials.  On the left-hand side navigation menu,
+click *Access & Security*.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/13599031.png" >}}
+
+The *Security Groups* tab should already be selected. Click the *Create Security Group* button
+in the upper right.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_1.png" width="900" >}}
+
+A new window will open. Type in "MySQL" for the *Name* and then click *Create Security Group* to
+save and close the window.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_2.png" width="600" >}}
+
+Next, click *Manage Rules* for the newly created *MySQL* group.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_3.png" width="900" >}}
+
+The details page for the group will open. Click the *Add Rule* button in the upper right.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_4.png" width="900" >}}
+
+In the new window, open the *Rule* drop-down menu and select *MYSQL*.  Click *Add* to finalize
+the selection and close the window.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_5.png" width="600" >}}
+
+You should now be returned to the details page for the security group.  Verify that the
+MYSQL rule is listed.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_6.png" width="900" >}}
+
+Click the *Instances* button on the left, and locate your MySQL Server instance in the
+list. Open the drop-down menu on the far right, and choose *Edit Security Groups*.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_7.png" width="150" >}}
+
+A new window will open with the available security groups on the left, and the active ones
+for the instance on the right. Click the `+` sign next to the *MySQL* group to add it to
+your instance.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_8.png" width="600" >}}
+
+It will move from the left side to the right.
+Now click *Save* to apply the changes and close the window.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/security_groups_9.png" width="600" >}}
+
+You can now connect to the MySQL server in your instance.
+
+### Recover the MySQL password
+Once your instance is running, login to the Anvil web dashboard
+at [anvil.unl.edu](https://anvil.unl.edu) and click the *Instances* menu option on left-hand side.
+You should see an entry for your instance similar to the following:
+
+{{< figure src="/images/sql_server_1.png" width="900" >}}
+
+Click the down arrow next to *Create Snapshot* to open the drop-down
+menu and select *Retrieve Password*:
+
+{{< figure src="/images/13042846.png" height="400" >}}
+
+This will open a new pop-up window where you will need to select
+your **private** SSH key file.  Click the *Choose File* button to open a
+file explorer window.  
+
+{{< figure src="/images/13042857.png" width="600">}}
+
+Navigate to your private key file and choose to open the file.  The
+large text box should now have the contents of your private key.  Click
+the *Decrypt Password* button: 
+
+{{< figure src="/images/13042860.png" width="600" >}}
+
+The randomly generated password should appear in the *Password* field.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/13042862.png" width="600" >}}
+
+Copy and paste this password into a convenient text editor.
+
+### Connecting to MySQL
+
+Determine the IP address of your instance by looking at the fourth
+column entry on the *Instances* page:
+
+{{< figure src="/images/sql_server_2.png" width="900" >}}
+
+Using the username `root` along with the recovered password and the IP
+address, you can now connect to MySQL using the program of your choice.
+
+For example, using the command line client:
+
+{{< highlight bash >}}
+[demo20@login ~]$ mysql -u root -h 10.71.104.142 -p
+Enter password:
+Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
+Your MySQL connection id is 6
+Server version: 5.5.65-MariaDB MariaDB Server
