Lay down, slide under, reach up to the latch with a long screwdriver or similar item and click the release. This is an easy one.

Are you sure the cable is broken? Sometimes if the latch hasn't been oiled in awhile it will stick, when it does this it will feel like the cable is broke. Try pulling the lever then bumping the front corner of the hood with your hand a few times, if it is the latch, it should pop open. If it does just keep it oiled and it should be fine.
