Easiest way, go to your hardware/home improvement store and buy a Dremmel rotary tool with a grout removal bit. It'll save you hrs of frustration and work.

It's not fun work. You'll have to buy a grout removal tool and scrape it out by hand. If the grout lines are wide enough, you might be able to use a small power tool, like a Dremel with a cutting wheel attachment, to do the job.

There are specialist tools available, including an electric vibrating tool from 'good' DIY stores....
You might be able to just cover over the existing grout - after cleaning it with a weak bleach solution- with fresh grout, or a grout pen that 'paints' over the old stuff.
Which ever way you do it, it will be very time consuming!
Good luck!
