or find the cable, and yank it hard to the side.
while person to pulls the release handle.
its just a crude cable latch, no magic or computers. here.
The cable terminates at the latch release located at the front center of the hood. If you can get to this, usually by removing the grill, find the lever the cable terminates in and move it manually with whatever tool you can get in there.

This happened to me on a 2004 Forenza. View some youtube videos to get a general idea for what you have to do. I had to jack the front of the car up and put a stand under it, perhaps a skinny person can fit without doing this. The latch is visible behind the radiator, you see it and the cable coming in from the drivers side. I just reached up and manually operated the release, moving it to the drivers side, no tool needed.
