Reach under the front of your car between the radiator and the grill and pull the wire down. That will unhook your hood latch. Replace the cable.
IS JUST THE HANDLE OF THE CABLE BROKE OFF UNDER THE DASH? IF SO USE A PAIR OF PLIARS TO PULL THE CABLE TO POP THE HOOD.
HOW DO I OPEN HOOD ON CAR WHEN CABLE IS BROKEN
I would trace cable and use vice grips. Cable is likely dealer only and expensive.IE: Find it and rig it!

If the cable isn't broken then you shouldn't have any issues opening the hood...
you get the cable fixed then open it

if you can at least pop the hud a little bit you can rich your hand under the hun and pull on the latch that should let you open the hud.

If the hood cable is broken on a Geo Prizm, the only option is to open the hood from underneath the vehicle. It is best to put the car up on a hoist and use a pole to trip the hood latch.
If the cable release is broken for the hood on a 2002 Kia Spectra, a person could crawl under the car and see if they can locate the broken part of the cable. If it is still attached to the hood, they could pull it to trip the hood latch. Otherwise, the car will have to be put on a hoist, and a long pole used to trip the hood latch.
