    Not a stupid question at all. I had it happen too, but since I was with a mega at the time, I took it to Volvo in Sacramento. Don't know how they got into it.

    You should be able to bend the black under guard of the hood back right where it comes down on the latch. Reach up in there and push the lever manually toward the engine, should pop free no problem.

    If you have a long screwdriver it's easier to reach in there and push on the lever with screwdriver than your hand.
