Usually the handle breaks off the cable, you should be able to use some vise grips to grab a hold of the cable and pull it to open the hood. To repair it the cable assembly will have to be replaced. If not you will have to gain access to the latch which is located in the front center of the hood and using a screw driver or something similar push the lever to release the latch.
Look under the drivers side ...if the cable is broken there ....grab with vise grips pull hard ....
If cable is not broken ....get someone to push on the hood down a few times or so ...it might release then ...might take a few times too get it to release .....once open check for dirt ect ...clean well ,adjust it ...re lube it ...or if in soubt ...buy new cable
