You will need to define the column names in the insert statement

insert into TestTable(id, text)
select '2', 'Value2'

You forgot to specify the columns list in your INSERT command like:

SQL

SET IDENTITY_INSERT UserProfile ON
GO
INSERT 
INTO UserProfile (UserId, UserName, Name, Family, P_T, P_N, Reshteh, CodeOzviat, CodeParvaneh)
SELECT
	up.UserId-2002,
	up.UserName,
	up.Name,
	up.Family,
	up.P_T,
	up.P_N,
	up.Reshteh,
	up.CodeOzviat,
	up.CodeParvaneh
FROM
	UserProfile up
WHERE        (UserId =2336)
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT UserProfile OFF

You need it, like also the error message said! Just try it.
