Loads of WD40 and leave it soaking overnight
Failing (like RB says) that it needs stripping down

yup - mine was properly seized, WD40 etc made no difference. I stripped and cleaned and re-greaed by following this really uesful site http://www.bowl-of-mice.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hub.html and I'm a bit of a mechanical numpty. Not technically difficult, but allow yourself a bit of time (and possibly get a mate to help with rear wheel removal)

Welcome MICHAEL  - do a search on here as there have been quite a few threads with seized adjusters and even one where it was too loose IIRC! Nifty trick is to put bolt through from the bottom of the arm with a steel rule or similar in the pinch gap to partially open it which helps WD "soak" in..

no pictures on the site, but it all makes sense if you keep reading it.
no need for one of the long adjusters once you have done the job!

I had the same problem & found out what it was during a rebuild I did last winter . The problem isnt the adjuster its the rear brake caliper mount . It mounts round the adjuster & over a pin in the swing arm that holeds it still . Brake dust & road crap build up behind it & sieze it to the swing arm so when you try to turn the adjuster it holds it solid . I had to use a hammer & chisel to brake it free from the swing arm it was so solid once removed cleaned & rebuilt I can adjust the chain with the lightest of pushes
