Ideally you need something to help pull hard on the wire. Try gripping it with a pair of pliers and giving it a firm tug. Maybe partly wrapping it round a screwdriver will do. Hopefully you will hear that reassuring sound of the bonnet popping.
It depends on where the break happened. IF you can get to the cable at all the previous advice works. If it broke at the actual latch. Good luck. It will take lots of work. Sometimes you can get to it by removing the grill. I have an 84 full size blazer and it broke on me at the latch. I had to crawl underneath, remove the fan from the front of the motor, squeeze in between the motor and radiator....then with a flash light in my mouth and a friend pushing down on the hood, stick a small screwdriver into the lever that the cable used to connect to and manually push it. Lucky for me I had room. Otherwise you may have to remove the grill and drill out/ break the latch bolts so the hood will open with the latch still connected. Drove me CRAZY!
