The finish on that Hardwood floor is not shellac unless an unknowing bone head applied it. If that's the case (which i doubt), it's time to sand and refinish anyway so don't waste your time cleaning the adhesive. It should be a Uerathane finish and lacquer thinner will damage it. Mineral spirits will cut it but too slow. I do this for a living so time is money. Use the Bostik ultimate if you want to save yourself some pain. I get it at my supply house but I'm sure you can find it on line. At least they didn't staple the pad down, thats good. When installing carpet we usually we only use pad glue over concrete or tile where staples won't work. Nine out of ten times people cover a hardwood floor with carpet to cover a f'd up floor. Its cheaper to carpet than to refinish. You're lucky the hardwood is in good shape
