Default hood stuck closed

Please assist me in opening the hood of my 2000 integra. The hood cable is stuck pulled out but the latch is not undone so the hood is not popped. Any help is greatly appreciated!

If the cable is broken you can get under the front of the car and with a long flat screwdriver move the hood latch lever just like the cable normally would. there is space between the front of the radiator support and front bumper so you can fit your arm in there. if it is not the cable then pressing down and pulling up on the hood while someone keeps the release lever pulled usually works.
