Confusing post if your talking about the handle that you pull inside the passenger compartment then unbolt the bracket that it's attached to and you will see the cable ///if you Mean the hood latch safety tab that you lift or move to the side to open the hood after cable release you must disconnect the lock latch or the hood striker that it locks onto and raise the hood this can be done by removing the the front grille panel or by coming in from under the vehicle to unbolt the lock latch assembly from the radiator support
SOURCE: can't open hood
if you can still get to the little steel cable, a extremely tight pair of vise grips and a moderate amount of force will do the trick.
SOURCE: Broken tab to hood release cable
Get a long screwdriver and try to release the secondary latch that way. Or if you have small hands reach up under the hood and pull the secondary latch toward the left.
