Default hood stuck shut on my em2. ideas how to get it open?

I'm not sure why it wont open, but I fixed my hood latch right before this happened. So I'm not sure if I accidentally disconnected it or if the cable itself is broke. Either way I gota get it open lol hope someone can help me out!

It's still connected under the dash. But I'm not sure at the latch itself. I'm going to buy some pwjdm hood pins because there was damage to my rad support when I bought it so I'm not worried about breaking things. Just don't know where to start to open it.

Remove the splash guard under the front of the car. Reach up from underneath with a flathead screwdriver and insert it between the latch and the hood bar then twist.
