When i type a text, it begins outside the text box and the text cursor is bigger than the actual font size.
There is only one setting that can cause those two things to happen. Your text has a very large baseline shift. In this example I selected the text and set the baseline shift to 300. It's doing exactly what you describe.

To fix it, here's how: select the text (it's a character setting) and change the baseline shift to zero.
As Pierre said, resetting preferences is drastic and not needed in this case. Resetting the Type tool will also reset the baseline shift to zero. Or you can simply adjust the baseline shift if it happens again.
