You need to know the cookbook is all. The community mysql cookbook, for 
example, sets the root password on a node attribute, so just reference 
the node attribute's value.

More specifically, I ask:

    "get those passwords so that I can use"

Get them from *where*? Another Chef recipe?
Use them for *what*?
