There are two ways to open a hood with a broken hood release cable. First you can go from underneath the car with a long standard screw driver to release the hood latch, next is sometime you can see the cable through the grill of the car in which you can pull the cable using needle noise pliers.

This can help you open the hood if the cable was working

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
