Default how to remove paint from grout?

The previous owner of my house painted the grout in the kitchen's tile
floor. I think the paint is probably a satin alkyd. How can I remove the
paint without damaging the grout and/or the tile?

Thanks,

Jean

if it's sanded grout you probably will have to remove a bit of the grout
with a grout scrapper. lots of hard work :~(
