connect to mysql database on host that doesn't allow remote connections

I have access to a machine that has mysql on it. I'm wanting to use
Intellij IDEA (on my personal computer) to talk to the database on the
other machine. The other machine's my.cnf file looks like:
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0
# Bind only to localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
# Increased by request
max_allowed_packet=64M
max_connections=302
open_files_limit = 5000
The bind-address line I believe is preventing me from connecting to the
database. I can't modify this file. Is there any way to connect to this
database remotely since I can already access it from the remote system by
logging in?
