[EatingHamIRL]

Ive made a cpanel demo account with demo.mydomain.com as the domain, it always tells me i cant have the words demo in the account name because its in the domain and i cant save the password as demo because it requires 5 characters. How would i create a demo account and have the username and the password both 'demo'?

Are demo accounts active in your whm? Otherwise you'll most likely get suspended for offering an account to the www.

[EatingHamIRL]

nope, i disabled the access to everything pretty much.

Believe me, it makes the server vulnerable. If your host find out, you'll be in some troubles
Just ask them to enable demo accounts for you.

Yeah thats right. I have seen a lot of cases where these demo accounts casing heavy spamming in the server.
With that user they can easily authenticate to send mails. Make sure things are really restricted with the demo account.
Good that your host allows demo accounts.

Just get a demo account from http://CpanelDemos.com.

Saves a LOT of hassles.
