    It's likely that the cable pulled out from the clamped on metal pull, that goes to the hood release. I looked at my Civic and I don't have a good suggestion for you. It's a problem all of us could face and I will keep thinking about. You may try putting the car up on a lift and see if you could figure out how to pull the release using a small screwdriver. The release mechanism needs to be pulled toward the passenger side. Hope this helps. After you solve the problem, tell us what you did.
