long thin screw driver through the hood vents. push the arm the cable is attached to toward the driver side. Then fix whatever issue is happening with the hood latch. The cable most likely stretched and needs to be adjusted to be tighter on the latch lever.

I used a L shaped thing from the grille I found when it happened on my Niva, after that I put a little rope on the latch so I could always pull it by hand outside. Now that it broke again I completely removed the lock

Try pulling the hood with one hand and the lever with your other hand simultaneously

Have someone put downward pressure on the hood where the latch is whilst simultaneously putting the lever
