Help!

I recently bought an '87 turbo Supra with all the options. All it needs is to have the rod bearings replaced, and it will run just fine.. not bad for $750. The car had been sitting for a few years, and I found it out in the middle of nowhere practically. After an oil change, and awhile to let it warm up, I was able to drive it the 20 or 30 miles home. Everything was perfectly fine, but then a few days later I was looking under the hood, closed it slowly, put my hand on it, and pressed it until it shut. I didn't slam it. Now, the hood won't open. The release lever works, you can hear it trying to disengage, but the hood just won't release. And, without my hood open, I can't fix the car. Does anyone know what could be causing this, or of a way that i could get it to open? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
