Trunk wont open

I have a 2000 Subaru legacy Gt and when I pull the lever for the trunk to open, it wont open. I know that there is a line that is suppose to run from the lever to the trunk and that might have snapped or something but I didn't know if there was an alternative way for me to open the trunk.

It should open with the key even if the cable won't. Does the lever have the same feel to it or does it seem like it isn't connected any more?

How do i open trunk on Subaru outback wagon without key or fob/remote

no year car told. the now lost free users guide is by year.
made 1994 to present (even 1989 as legacy outback)
no country told at all
sorry cars not the same world wide.

open glove box, read the users guide? oops locked too>?
most cars sold in USA , called wagons
opening the rear gate hatch by accident driving
kids fall the ground, or cargo hits cars behind you. (so is illegall that feature)
and is never called a truck ever, in a wagon
only on sedans. a hatch or 5th door it is named.
In Europe then even call them 5 door cars.
so I am confused.
so all keys lost to the car. and can not drive it
nor open any side doors
and rear hatch is locked and valuables in cargo area to fetch, right?
I say call a locksmith
and pick the lock.
the door lock(mechanism) in the hatch internal, is accessed from the inside of the hatch open.so no why to attack it that way.

call a locksmith,

I have a 1993 subaru legacy l sedan, somebody tried to break into my trunk and now the release wont work.

You can get to it by the back seats. They have releases at the base of the headrests, just pull them out. They are on small metal pins and sometimes the pulleys come out, so you might have to use pliers. Hope this helps!

2000 Legacy GT - The security warning light is flashing rapidly after I had alternator problems. How do I get it to stop flashing?

Here is a guide for the Subaru Alpine security system:

The link will also list other Subaru systems, but this links to the Alpine portion of the guide. (ie: silence horn, valet mode, etc)

Button on console and power button

The power button extends the time in each gear, the other button I think your describing juts up vertically in front of the AT selector. if you press this down you'll find that you can move the selector without having the ignition key in, it's a get out of jail card really

Can not get in the trunk. The handle is broken.

Legacy, right? Can you tilt the backseats' backrests forward? like when you want to transport something big in the trunk... I suppose the sedan has this similarly to the station wagon. 
Use a pocket torch to look for the lock body from inside and there should be a small button or better a lever that you have no clue what it is there for, right? try to push it or pull it from ech side untill it opens. 
It is actually there to prevent transporting people in the trunk against their will(unlike the movies, where it is possible).

1993 Subaru Legacy door locks

If it's mega cold in your area, it could be ice. We've had several things not open lately. All due to moisture/condensation freezing.
Just a tho't.
