If you are running an unmodified demo_server, then it doesn't use your system
username/password authentication, it just has "robey" and "foo" hard-coded:

    def check_auth_password(self, username, password):
        if (username == 'robey') and (password == 'foo'):
            return paramiko.AUTH_SUCCESSFUL
        return paramiko.AUTH_FAILED

So, if you want to log in to the demo server, you need to use a username of
"robey" and a password of "foo" (or do publickey authentication with the
demos/user_rsa_key key).
