Changed GRUB settings now can't load Ubuntu

I changed the timer setting on GRUB to 0 seconds, this was accidental.

Now my computer boots straight into Windows 8 as this was my default GRUB option.

Since the GRUB menu no longer appears (as the delay is 0 seconds) I can't boot into Ubuntu.

Is there any way to change the GRUB settings from Windows OR boot into Ubuntu in another way?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

1. Download Boot repair tool from the following link:
2. Then burn it on CD or put it on USB key via Unetbootin.
3. Insert the Boot-Repair-Disk and reboot the PC.
4. Select Advanced option. There you can find boot menu timer option. Change as you like and apply.
5. Shut down your computer and remove boot cd and start again.

Just load up your Ubuntu CD/DVD and instead of installing, just choose the 'Try it out' option. You'll be able to edit the grub.cfg file on the partition you installed Ubuntu on and change the timeout.

Good luck!
