If the cable has snapped you will need to get a screwdriver or similar to come up underneith and pop the catch. If you have an aftermarket front bumper access may be limited. Easy enough to do if it has a standard bumper.

If it hasnt just come off the release handle then chances are its snapped. You will have to access the catch from underneith to release the bonnet.
