Open the keychain app and go to the passwords section. You will see an entry in the list that corresponds to the Service entry, which is shown in your screenshot. Double click it to open its properties, select the checkbox "show password" (or whatever it is titled in your language), enter your Mac password and voilá - there is your MySQL password.
