If there is cable exposed and pulling on it does not release the hood, then you will have to ge a long thin screw driver to pop the latch between the hood and grille.

Dr.

I guess you got your doctorate degree in something other that English composition. J/K.

About your problem. Try to expose the inner wire part of the release cable inside the car and pull on it with vise grips or channel locks. That may release the hood. Just my 2cents.
