1) if we violate Scripture on a topic, but don't know what scripture says on it, we sin unintentionally. For example, a new believer may not yet know specific moral instruction, so may sin unintentionally. Corinth is a good example; the believers were immature. They were divided and divisive, splitting into parties: "I am of Paul! I am of Apollos!". Some who joined sides probably did not know this was wrong. We often do the same today.
2) if we do something which has an accidental sinful consequence, we sin accidentally. If I am playing with a gun which goes off and kills someone, I have sinned by taking a life. This is an unintentional sin.
