Boiling water and a towel. Work fast, little areas at a time so as not to damage the floor. Just dump the water, cover with towel, couple minutes later scrape and dry.

This sounds like a terrible idea. That will mess up the wood floor for sure. If you want heat, use a heat gun and a scraper, not boiling water.

If you dry it quick enough, it's fine. Don't use a lot of water, obviously. The towel will soak most of it up before it can really penetrate the wood.
