hit the clear button in the option bar when selecting the crop tool. if that doesn’t reset it, see the faq in this forum about resetting your photoshop preferences.

Before resetting all the preferences, try resetting the Crop Tool with the drop-down menu.

That is not quite the same as pressing "Clear".
