Leeds, beaten by Bury in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy last week, might have fallen further behind when Theo Robinson outpaced a static defence to meet Richard Rose's pass.
Robinson, on loan from Watford, beat Ankergren but Paul Huntington cleared off the line.
Robinson squandered a simpler chance when Trevor Benjamin sent him clear but a poor first touch enabled Ankergren to block.
Leeds went close when Tresor Kandol's header was blocked by keeper Wayne Brown and again when Jermaine Beckford denied by Brown.
Forest Green, from the Blue Square Premier, reached the second round for only the third time in their history with a 3-0 victory at League Two Rotherham, who have not won an FA Cup tie for five seasons.
The Gloucestershire side, who squandered a 2-0 lead in the first meeting, now visit Swindon in the next round.
They went ahead when defender Chris Giles headed in Jamie Pitman's cross after 28 minutes.
Stephen Brogan missed badly for Rotherham and Jamie Yates went close before Forest Green increased their lead in the 54th minute.
A poor clearance from Rotherham skipper Graham Coughlan led to Simon Clist slotting home from close range.
Stuart Fleetwood's 23rd goal of the season wrapped things up with three minutes left.
Barrow, from the Blue Square North, were forced into extra-time at Bournemouth, who needed a Max-Alain Gradel penalty in stoppage- time to cancel out second-half goals from Nick Rogan and Jason Walker.
Scott Golbourne had given Bournemouth the lead two minutes before half-time.
