If it is just spots of paint, I have used a scraper with good results. Then
apply wax over the scraped spots. After a few months it blended in quite well.

But be sure you know how to run it. Amateurs have been known to gouge
out the (valuable) boards because applying uneven pressure. Think
about hiring a pro if you're concerned about running the sander.

Once the paint has been removed, you have several choices to refinish
the bare wood. Would be good to read up on the choices. Go online
with key words like "refinishing wood floors" and review the options.

Good luck!
