You can buy brush restorer liquid, but I reckon a new brush would be cheaper!

As you already know..paint thinner only removes oil based paint and will not remove acrylic paint.
What WILL remove acrylic paint from your brush is rubbing alcohol. Soak your brush for about 5 minutes in the alcohol to soften the dried paint. Then, with a paper towel, gently wipe away the paint. Repeat until all the paint is removed.
It's fast and easy...and cheap.
After cleaning (If your brush is natural hair) treat the little darling with a tiny dollop of hair conditioner to re-moisturize.
Caution: keep rubbing alcohol away from small children. It is poisonous if ingested...however, won't hurt your skin if your should get some on you.
I hope this helps :-)

If was wet you just needed to use water. If it's dry try hot water with laundry powder. Paint thinner only works with oil based paint.
