Where exactly are you stuck? The error message seems pretty clear to me.

The meaning of an Identity column is that a database sets the value, not your insert. If you really need to set it yourself:

You have to type column name:

SQL

set identity_insert meghr on
insert into meghr (nos) VALUES (1)
set identity_insert meghr off
