Where did the wire break?
If the under dash handle came off you can remove the foot rest by unscrewing the plastic screws/nuts on the dead pedal.
If the handle/wire broke at the latch, you might be able to reach past the grille with a long trim(thin blade) screw driver and pull the lever to unlatch the main lock. But I cannot recall if the '96/'97 grille has the Honda 'H' in the way or getting to the main latching mechanism.

this happen to me last summer. and reaching through the grille did not work at all for me what I have been doing is reaching through the bumper to where the hood latch is and on the back side theres a little tab which the wire pulls. you have to push it towards the driver side. and yes I still have not fixed it.

If you have to, you can remove the splash guard and reaching up insert a screwdriver in the latch and twist.
