no idea what kind of car you have :) but in my E30 325i (and probably most other older BMW's that have hoods that open the proper way :)

there is a hole with a slot reachable with a large flat head screwdriver just beside the front left (drivers side) headlight..

Put screwdriver in, turn, and clunk: the hood pops open.

(*)(*) x(*)(*)

looking at front of car.. (*) are headlights x is the spot to put the screwdriver

BTW, just think, without a hood sensor/alarm a thief could pop the hood, mess with the fuse box etc, and do who knows what to your car..
