"Demo" is the default name (and password) given for the non-root user when running from the "live cd." "Live cd" means that the operating system will boot from a cd using your system RAM without being installed on the hard drive...it is good to have about 256M or more of RAM for this.
You can actually test out the distro with your hardware before you make a decision to install it, or even take it to a store with you and try out a new computer that you may be considering to see if everything works with Linux.
To install from the cd, you actually boot up the live cd as user "demo", select the "I" button (the installer button) and log in with the root password (root) and then you go through the install sequence, which is pretty much self explanatory.
