You might be able to clamp it with a pair of vice grips, not a permanent fix. You can order a new hood cable online, they aren't very expensive.

How do you open hood on explorer when cable is broken?

this ones not really hard but it's not easy by any means what you have to do is get in through the headlight and take off the grill if possible if you can't do that you have to get a tool that fits the bolt between the grill and the hood, Take the bolts that hold the latch on completely off and from there you should be able to get the hood open, take the latch apart by hand and reinstall on the hood, replace the cable make sure it works the pieces before closing the hood and you should be good to go be careful and good luck
