An accidental is an added flat, sharp or natural to the key signature used in a piece of music. They are used when a composer slightly changes keys. Accidentals also occur when embelishing / ornamenting the melody. Basically, accidentals are for what ever notes the composer wants to use besides those in his main key - hence the key signature, which indicates which notes are always sharped or flatted, giving the composer a choice of how high or low she/he wants the song to be.
