Bolton ended a run of five successive defeats with a 0-0 Sky Bet League One draw at home to Accrington, but relegation remains all but certain for Keith Hill's side.
On the 16th anniversary of their League Cup final defeat to Middlesbrough, Wanderers picked up their first point since beating Tranmere on February 1.
The draw also went some way to atoning for a 7-1 defeat when the Lancashire rivals met in November.
Bolton, who are 21 points from safety, enjoyed the better of the first half.
Stanley's teenage goalkeeper Josef Bursik made a hat-trick of saves, the best of which was a full-length dive to push away Joe Dodoo's low right-footed drive from the edge of the area.
Wanderers were forced into a half-time change, with Yoan Zouma replacing injured centre-half Jack Hobbs.
Stanley could not take advantage of the reshuffle, though John Coleman's visitors enjoyed a greater share of the contest.
Their best moment came on the hour when Jordan Clark angled a left-footed shot towards the top corner, only for Remi Matthews to tip away the ball for a corner.
Matthews also foiled Clark with the game's last kick to ensure honours ended even.
