Remove the starter from the mower. If the broken cord is hanging out of the hole in the starter, it's easy: Slowly pull it out it's full length. Notice the rotating pulley that the cord is wound on. When it's fully extended, use something like a nail to lock the pulley into position. Clip off the inside knot at the rope stop hole, and pull the old rope out, then thread the new rope (same diameter) into the opening, into the pulley, and out the rope stop hole in the pulley where you clipped off the old knot. Tie a new, tight, overhand knot in that end. Hold the rope, remove the nail, and slowly let the spring wind the new rope on, leave several feet of rope hanging out of the rope hole, and cut it to length only after you've reinstalled the handle.

Now, if the rope broke inside the pulley, that's a different story and can be dangerous (there is much spring tension on the coil spring when you disassemble it, even when the rope is inside of it). Might be better to have a pro do that.
